LAN problems

My IP modem came with a cat 5 utp 2 pair cable. A cat 5E 4 pairs won't work on 2-k mach. Which works with 5 2 pair. I've not tried it on new XP yet. 5-E doesn't work on XP w/pci card. So is it old modem or am I doing the apples and oranges (WTF) thing?

Could this be the problem with it showing connected and not on new MoBo? Am I trying to connect a 2 pair modem to a 4 pair motherboard?

This post doesn't makes any sense to me, maybe someone else.
