Well, recently our desktops tower broke so we got rid of it. We went to my great uncles and told him about the problem. He now has 3 laptops so he gave us his desktops tower to let us see if it worked, and if it did we could have it. It works, but for some reason it wont connect to the internet (Its the same operating system as the last one was and we connected everything exactly how we did on the last tower) It still has all of his infomation on it and I thought maybe that was the problem. We have a laptop and it connects to the internet perfectly fine (the one I am using to post this) I went to the "set up a new network/connection" but it still didnt work (Please note I am not sure If I did this correctly) Sense it has all of his info on it, is it possible to connect his tower to our modem or not? Someone please help. Thanks (I will try to answer any questions that you may have)

EDIT: It is a DSL Modem.
