You might be trying to connect it into the dial up modem on the laptop. Try and find a port similar to it but a little fatter.

on the user manual it says that the bigger port (rj-45) connects to an ethernet connection is this the same as a broadband connection?

Yes it is. Ethernet > Broadband > RJ45 all the same.
