You can only connect to the internet with the USB port by using the Microsoft USB Wireless Dongle, and since you say that your Ethernet port is broken i recommend you to try the following things.

1 Try the Ethernet cabel to your PC if your PC does connect via the Cabel

- Blow out the possible dust out your Xbox 360 Ethernet port.
- Check your router Firewall settings.
- Check if your Xbox 360 network settings are correct (IP adress etc)

2 If it does not connect to your PC

-Try a other Ethernet cabel.

I would like to know
-How long do you got this problem
-Did you changed anything on your Router or Xbox?
-If your Ethernet port would be broken (Which looks very unlikely) please explain how you came to that conclusion, did you do something to it?

Edit : I just found this topic which could help you xbox360 & non-xbox wireless adapter

hello
i know for a fact the XBOX 360 ethernet port is broken. i had to unplug my ehternet chord in order to clean my room one afternoon and then about an hour after unplugging it i plugged it back in and it didnt work. so i looked inside the port and there are around 5-10 skinny metal strips of i think copper or brass the connect into the chord and they were all jumbled together and not in a nice neat row.
