Help Fixing a Friends Computer?!?!

What sort of Internet browser is said person using? You might not even be connecting it to the internet the right way. I'd assume it's DSL?

Internet browser? I'm using Internet explorer. Must be an old version because this is an old cd. Not that old though, it looks the same as pretty much anything else, just no tabs.

How i'm connecting? No idea, just an ethernet cable into the back of the computer. Under nework connections, it shows me Local Area connection is a Broadcom 44x 10/100 integrated controller. I've been trying to use that one. Is that the right driver? Or do i need to get another one?
