    Your ISP may have linked your account to the MAC address of your first computer; if that's the case, since the laptop has a different MAC, the service will just not let it access the internet. The best way to fix this, as a general matter, would be to get a router (wireless if your notebook has wireless), clone the MAC address of the first computer to the router (most routers have a section in their administrative control page to do exactly this), and then connect your laptop to the router - you should be good to go at that point.

    Also, not off-topic, since the question is about networking, which encompasses wired as well as wireless.

    Remember the old grammar book about "see spot run....?" Well, somebody should have taught spot not to run across the road..... ;)
