There is an Ethernet port built into the PC. It's on the back and looks like a large phone jack.

See the user, setup, and hardware reference guides here for details: http://www.helpowl.com/manuals/eMachines/EL1200/66936

You can plug a cable into that jack and then into the router. There is no need to install a USB Ethernet adapter.
