Yes you can use DSL modem to connect to internet, but you need to have a DSL connection (through a phone line) subscribed and activated with an internet service provider or a phone company which provides DSL internet access. As there are many forms of DSL technologies, you need to make sure that modem is compatible with the service provider network. Typically when you subscribe to a internet connection, the service provider provides their own modem to the customer. - Neeraj Sharma

The two technologies are not interchangable, and the hardware used to connect (DSL modem or Cable modem) are not likely to work with the other.

Not always.

One modem connects to another modem. The second modem can be connected to the internet, a closed network, a specific machine or something else.

It is possible that the router (wireless network) that you are connecting to is not currently connected to a modem (the internet).

If you have access to the router, check to see that the router has an ethernet connection to a modem.
