How do I set up Internet on my 1998 iMac using an Ethernet cable?

Hi guys I decided to bring out the old 1998 iMac. I wanted to set it up wirelessly and it said it had airport base station but not a card, if there is any other way to set it up wirelessly please let me know. Anyway I am not sure how to connect this thing to my broadband Internet using an Ethernet cable please help.

iMac, 1998 iMac

Plug the Ethernet cable into the computer and either the modem or a router, switch, or hub. If the iMac's running Mac OS 9.2.2 or earlier, open the TCP/IP control panel and set it to connect via Ethernet. If it's running Mac OS X, open the Network pane of System Preferences and drag Ethernet to the top of the list.
