Call Earthlink tech support. They should take you through it step by step. A few questions:

Do you have a router, or is your network adapter connected directly to your DSL modem?

Are you sure your network adapter is recognizing your DSL modem or router?

You may find some useful info by running IPCONFIG. [ Start / Run / IPCONFIG ]. That should report the IP address to which your network adapter is connected.

Did you turn everything off or just the modem? Try a full power down and reboot.

Get back to Earthlink. They should keep a log of what you've tried so they'll know what to try next. Also, the info from IPCONFIG may be useful to them.
