My DSL modem has a antenna on it. Does that mean it's got a wireless router built in? If so, can i purchase a network card and install to second computer for networking?

Not necessarily. Do you see a wireless indicator/light on the front of the modem?

If you want to connect to the Wireless, you'll need a wireless card. If you want to connect via ethernet, you'll need to make sure you have a Network card installed. Then use an ethernet cable. That's all you need.
