Now, I can't even use my own computer (using a friend's) because I'm unable to activate Windows online. Somebody please help me.

you have TV do you not? then get cable broadband from your cable carrier. if you have no ethernet, you can get an ethernet to usb adapter. works a little bit slower, but hardly noticeable.

The "jack" you are referring to is known as the "Ethernet" Adapter. These adapters are very easy to come by online or in a local store like "radio shack."
Just go in and ask for an "PCI Ethernet Adapter."
Installing your PCI Ethernet Adapter:
1. Open your case.
2. Locate an open PCI slot. (See example 1)
3. There should be a strip of metal right at the edge of the PCI slot. Remove the strip to allow your card's jack to be accessible from outside the computer. (see example 2 - pci mounting slot)
4. Insert your PCI card. Make sure the copper pins all make contact and won't go any further in.
5. Put a screw threw the scre-hole at the top of the jack housing. (example 3)
6. Close your case.
7. Install the card drivers if any came with it.
8. Enjoy your internet!
