This probably wont work because if you are getting a ethernet port connected message then it knows that it is there, but it is worth a try, first open up your network connections and right click on the one that you are connecting to, and go to properties. In the window that opens left click on Internet Protocol and then click the properties button. Make sure IP address and DNS server are set to obtain automatically. With that done go to start, and then run, in the run box type cmd. On the line that the cursor is on type ipconfig /release, and then type ipconfig /renew. Open up your firefox browser and try to go to a website. If that still does not work then you have a problem with your modem and/or your dsl line in general.
