You will need to buy something if you want it to work.
I would suggest the data cable.
I am assuming you are swapping the data cable between the 2 hard drives depending on which drive you want to use. Doing so is a recipe for disaster. You will break/ bend something.
The data cables are $5 to $15 US
Look in device manager and see if you are missing any drivers, and if so, which ones.

When you installed XP did you let it setup the network?

It would ask if you want to setup the network.
You have to tell it to.
A dsl or cable connection normally would use ethernet to connect to your system.
Being that then the network would have to be setup for the system to see the modem or router.

You can try that but check and make sure the network is setup as it is needed for the OS to see the modem since it is connected to the nic card I'm sure.

Yes it should be under network connections in the control panel. You would be looking for something like in XP named Local Area Network
If not you may want to use the network setup wizard.
