Connect your dsl modem to your laptop. Just like you would a regular desktop computer. Your laptop should have an ethernet port (either built-in or as a PCMCIA card on the side). If you don't, then you might have a laptop with 802.1b/g or bluetooth.

Do you have a router of any sort?

I have an Actiontec 54 mps wireless dsl gateway.
Is this what you mean?
I also have a Soho hub that came with a computer I bought.
