Assuming the DSL connection is coming through the ethernet card, you need to add a line to your core.ini. Instructions are in readme.txt. (It's trying to connect via your modem, which isn't how your connection is established.)

Hi John, 1. Make sure you have the core.ini entries for a cable-modem. Read the readme.txt file in your GPL folder. 2. When you click on the VROC: Joe Doe selection on the right side. The IP address should appear on the left side of the screen (under your connection selection). 3. If you have 2 ethernet cards, like I do. Clicking on the VROC name from the address book turns my connection selection (on the left) back to my LAN ethernet card (not the one attached to the internet). Just click on the down-arrow and select the proper TCP-IP entry. 4. Click the Green Flag and go racing.
