You should have a phone line that goes from the wall outlet to the DSL modem. There should be a network cable that goes to a router or the network connection on the back of your computer. Note: this could also be a USB cable that goes from the DSL modem to the USB port on your computer. You should also have a phone line that goes from the wall outlet or splitter through an adapter (POTS filter) to your modem's phone port on the back of your computer. If your modem has 2 ports, plug the phone line into the one marked "line" or "Telco". Some modems are picky about this.
