or use a wireless router - hardwire the PC
and wireless the laptop
we have a mac hardwired
mac laptop wireless
and PC Windows XP on a wireless card
all three can run like scalded dogs at once on one
cable modem connection
(LinkSys Wireless N System $100 base and $100 for pc card)

You are obviously not using a router. A router takes the one IP address your company gives you, and distributes internal IPs to all computers inside your network.
If you have a switch or hub this will not happen, so you would need to pay your ISP for an extra IP address, something that is not worth it in the long run.

Your PC and Laptop must have different IDENTITY Numbers. For example, if your Internet Gateway is 192.168.1.1,
then the ID for the PC should be !92,168.1.2
and the Laptop 192.168.1.3.
Otherwise there will be clash between the two as to whom should the Router be addressing.
Go to the PROPERTIES of each and allocate the proper IDs.(View NETWORKS, right click on PC and Laptop one after another and select PROPERTIES)

Yes, through a router (either through ethernet cable, or through a wireless connection if it is also a wireless router.
