Have you read the manual ?????

Does your modem have a web based interface for setup configuration and 
management ?

If so use it to set up your connection to your ISP.

Read the manual !!!

Is your modem the same as the one shown at :

s.shtml

Are you using USB or ethernet to connect the modem to your PC ?

If you are using the ethernet port - install/enable DHCP on your system, 
reboot your system and it should all "just work".
