Excuse the redundant questions, humor me:

1. Can you ping the loopback address?

2. Can you ping other workstations on your network?

3. DLS modems often have settings in them selfs that need to be set. Some have security settings in which the MAC address of the station that can use them, needs to be entered. Some DSL modems also serve out IP addresses via DHCP. Im not sure if this is your case.
