His wireless connection at his house will not work at your house.
And a USB to modem cable won't work, unless you have installed your ISP's
settings in the laptop..

Use a Cat5 Patch cable(Network) between the laptop and the modem.

I am trying to connect to the internet any possible way with this Vista

I have my father-in laws laptop, and it just stopped working.
I can assure you it is not a modem or cable problem. My XP pro desktops work
just fine on the same line.
He normally uses it wireless through a lynksys router at his house, but it
just stopped working.
It is a Dell Inspiron E1505, and the middle eastern tech reps couldn't fix
the problem, and microsoft wanted $50 to even talk even though it is under
warranty.
The computer does not recognize a direct connection to the cable modem, and
does not connect wireless through Wifi.
I have enabled and disabled both cards. It want's a user name and password
for PPPoE, which is retarded to begin with.
I have reset the winsock and all the other basic trouble shooting standards.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am about to Fdisk it and put on a real OD like XP pro so there is no
problems....
One step closer to getting a trouble free Mac....LOL
