Got new modem and can not connect to internet

Running Zorin 9. New modem is Xyxel C1100Z. Tower is hardwired to modem. Tested cable and it works on a windows machine. When I go to network error is The system network services are not compatible with this version.

Any ideas for a fix? Is there something wrong on the ethernet card?

My best idea is, is there anyone in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area that I can take the tower and modem to to fix this? :D

Don't know if this helps or hinders?:

Just been having another think about this - I suspect it may be because PPPoE is not present? Is there anyway you can use different setup to install PPPoE using different connection?

I would also make sure the eth adapter is being detected.
Code:
dmesg | grep -P "(eth|enp)"; echo -e "\n\n"; ip addr

If you can paste the output of the above commands.

My output looks like this.
Code:

What you see here is my eth adapter is up and I have an IP address (which is needed to get internet access)
