Conectting dsl to inspiron 1000

I just received the dsl modem from sprint and am trying to connect it.
I connected the ethernet cablet to the port, (well what I am assuming is the port) but the dsl light does not come on, on the dsl modem box sprint sent, the power, lan and sys does.
Am I equipped with what I need on the Inspirion 1000, or do i need a card or something?
 
And I thought installing myself would be a piece of cake:)

    If the LAN port light comes on, the notebook itself is fine. If the DSL connection light doesn't come on steady and stay on, you've got a problem with your DSL line - call your DSL provider.

    The integrated NIC on the notebook is working fine - it's the DSL that needs attention.

    hawkes,
     
    did you connect the modem to the phone line at your house?
    just wanted to make sure, something so simple could be causing your many problems.
    when i was in 9th grade of high school i built my first computer and after about 30 minutes of trying to figure out why it wouldnt turn on i finally plugged the power cord in.
