You "shouldn't" have manually create a connection to connect the internet. Try recycling the power on the DSL modem after you plugged it into the computer.
Then see if you get a valid IP address: Start > Run > 'cmd' > OK
In the command prompt type in 'ipconfig' and hit enter to check your IP address. If it starts with 169.254.xxx.xxx it's no good.
