OK, now we're making progress. It sounds like you basically have a cable model. I'm no expert on cable modems, but I'm sure someone will chime in.
So, if I understand correctly, you have some sort of cable device that has a single ethernet port. (If it had two, your problem would be solved.) That ethernet port is connected to the ethernet port on your PC. Here's what I suggest you try:
1. Get your main computer up and running, then go to the Start menu and pick "Run...". Enter the command "cmd" in the Run dialog; an MS-DOS window will pop up. 2. In the DOS window, type "ipconfig" and hit enter. You should see a bunch of gobbledygook scroll across the screen. Basically it will tell you what network interfaces you have, if they're connected and what their IP addresses are (if any). Don't close anything down just yet, because you may want to look at it again. 3. Unplug your ethernet cable from your number 1 PC and plug it into the second machine. Reboot the second machine; once it's up and running execute the ipconfig command on number 2 just like you did on number one. The results should be very similar to what you saw before, although the IP address might be off a little.
If you can get an IP address on the second PC, then that PC is OK and you'll need to do something with your network setup. However, if the second PC can't get an IP, then your problem is with the PC, NOT with the network. For example, it might not be set up to use DHCP, or it could have a bad network card. Whatever the cause, you need to make sure that computer can connect to the internet on its own before going further.
