You need to connect your cable modem to your PC with a Cat5 Ethernet cable, not a phone line. The cables look similar, but they are very different. You cannot plug a cable modem into a phone jack. If it were that easy everyone would have a home network. Just run a Cat5 cable from the cable modem to PC and forget about the phone line thing.
