I just moved to a new home that seems to only have DSL ports in the walls, and the existing owner's modem is hooked up using the same cable. I'm used to only being in a house with ethernet ports and not just DSL, so I ordered a DSL-Ethernet adapter off Amazon that arrived today. I plugged it into the wall, plugged the ethernet end into a modem of my own (take note: that modem has no DSL ports; only ethernet), and tried using that modem both wirelessly and with a second ethernet cable. Neither appears to work.
I've restarted and changed a handful of settings a bunch of times and gotten no closer to solving this issue, so the only conclusion that came to mind is that there's a problem with connecting a DSL line to an ethernet modem. Is this true? If not, I can provide any system details that may help.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
