There is only one dialup adapter on this computer (Xircom) under modems and
there never
has been any other. I also do not find another using settings>control
panel>system under modems. However there is a generic dialup adapter under
network adapters. Should I remove it?

I have fixed the Subnet mask. Sorry I'm so stupid. How do I find the
routers LAN address?
