it if that could be the issue.

The unknown network adapter may be the USB port on the DSL modem.
These require a driver so this may be the reason why you can not see
the Internet.

You need to understand that most DSL modems can not normally have both
the USB port and the Ethernet jack used at the same time. To share
the modem between more than one PC, use a broadband router.
