Hi just go this link below:

the connection you are plugging into requires an external modem to control the network. actions like logging on and authenticating with youe isp are controlled outside of the pc on most dsl networks

Up to Pentium III/M 600 MHz

Hi,

To my knowledge an IBM ThinkPad T21 originally was shipped out from the manufacturer without a WiFi networking interface, sorry.

Kind regards.

Hi,
Bad cable, bad network configuration or bad motherboard, in that order.
Try manual settings for the wired connection, do a repair and see what the comment is.
good luck
