I was given a Dell Inspiron 530 with Vista OS... The old owner used a wireless router but I am using a 2/1 modem from my internet, phone, cable company. The computer is not recognizing the modem at all. I know that it is NOT the modem because it's the same modem I'm using now.

There is no option to use LAN in the network connection and it only gives me the choice to find a wireless connection. HELP!! I have been trying to resolve this all day... I have reloaded all of the drivers and that did not help! ... I'm limited on my IT knowledge so any help would be appreciated!
