I purchased a Westell DSL modem and have gotten it configured on the cumputer so that it is recognized when connected to the ethernet port. I downloaded the westell diagnostics/install program and ran it. It tried to assign a address but I still can't connect to the internet with it. A network connection has been created and the modem recognizes it is hooked to the ethernt port.

I need help getting connected. I presently have internal DSL modem and need a external one so I cna hook a laptop up also. I changed the connection it explorer to the network connection but still no soap.
