Like Jake said you need the wireless adapter - assume you have this.
My dad has this problem sometimes with comcast
Turn everything off
Turn on comcast modem first
Router
Then the computers
This works for him

you might need a long cable going upstairs. unless you have a wireless service near by.

Well, most old computers don't have the capability of connecting wirelessly. Try using your new computer wirelessly and plugging in your old computer directly to the modem.
