Is this possible? Can i connect from my cable router to a wirless DSL router and get a connection? DSL has Ethernet ports (4) of them. Im using a Moterolla Comcast Cable router with a Sagemcom 1704 DSL wireless router.

I'm not sure what you would accomplish by connecting one router to another router.

To clarify a few points:

What exactly is your goal?
Do you currently have a cable internet connection or a DSL connection?

I have cable, but im trying to set up a wireless connection, just the wireless. Since my DSL wirless router doesnt have a screw on connection for the cable i was wondering if i could use ethernet cable ran from cable router to wireless router and get a wireless connection.

I don't think you're going to be able to use your Sagecom 1704 as a wireless access point. It seems to be just a DSL router, if you look at the back there is no port for an incoming ethernet connection.

There are cheap options available that will get the job done:
