I installed a new ethernet outlet, the old one was a phone plug connection. The new ethernet card will not work. What do I do?

If you bought one with a coax connection, take it back and trade it for one with the right connector.

You installed an Ethernet "Card" and want to use that instead of a dial-up modem? Is that what you're saying?
If that's the case, then you either need to use the new card in conjunction with a Cable Modem or DSL in order for the Ethernet card to do you any good. It certainly WILL NOT work with a phone cord using dial-up.
But, perhaps I completely misunderstand what you're trying to say.

Contact your DSL provider. You should have received instructions from them.
