Hi,

So just to be clear, are you saying that you are connecting to a cable modem with an Ethernet cable, the laptop works but the PC does not?

Assuming the settings are the same on both devices for DHCP etc.. It may be that your PC does not support Automatic MDI/MDI-X detection.
Strictly speaking you should probably be using a crossover cable if connecting the PC direct to the modem, its possible that the laptop supports the capability to detect this but the PC does not?
