And by which means is the DSL modem connected to the PC? (I'm guessing USB). If the modem is not connected via an existing (and recognized) network interface you have to make sure Linux has the drivers for your modem. Otherwise you will have to connect the modem via ethernet (if it has this option). It might help if you tell us the exact model of the DSL modem.
