AT&T high speed internet and new Dell PC with modem included

 hrproinindy,

The internal modem is for dialup and is slow. Your DSL connection should be faster.

Does your ATT modem/router have wireless capabilities?

Try running Finding System Information and at the bottom it will tell your  etwork adapters. Please post that information back here.

I have AT&T high speed internet via a DSL line.  My new Dell Inspiron 546 desktop PC came with a modem included.  Can I set up the AT&T to use the internal modem included with my PC, instead of the separate modem originally sent to me by AT&T/Yahoo a few years ago?  I didn't know if the newer modem might be better and easier ?  I am not very computer saavy, so sorry if this seems like a basic or dumb question to some.

The DSL modem is completely different from the dial-up modem in your desktop PC.

If you want to use the dial-up modem you certainly can, if you enjoy slow browsing speeds.
