Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
you have to make sure your laptop has wireless, or bluetooth, if you don't it won't work. call the company of the computer, because i don't know the kind u have, and ask them about internet compatibility on your laptop

Hi.
I'm a little confused as to exactly what you are trying to do. Are you using an ADSL modem to connect to the internet or is it just normal internet (dialup) which you are trying to access through your laptop?
Normally ADSL modems are USB modems which you just connect into the USB port on a laptop, install it and then access the internet that way (this is how I access the internet at the moment since my computers graphics card died).
If the modem you are using has a normal telephone line connector on it (the kind you get at the end of the telephone cord that goes into the wall) your laptop may need a modem to be connected directly into it's card slot which is usually on the side in a compartment.
Hope this was helpful but as I said I wasn't able to completely understand the details of your question.
