I am connecting to internet in my windows XP PC (wired broadband). Now I would like to connect the modem to my windows 7 laptop and use internet. There are several connections being displayed in the network and sharing center. I have disabled all except the LAN. When I try to connect, the message currently connected to unidentified network, no Internet. Kindly help me in solving the issue

Are you trying to connect both machines to the Internet, or just one? And are you using a router? Have you tried unplugging the modem/router and plugging it back in after switching machines? – Tanner Aug 21 '12 at 15:14
What is the make and model of the device you are trying to connect both computers to? – David Schwartz Aug 21 '12 at 15:33
Have you googled for solutions or the particular error? Installed any software which came with the router from your ISP to setup your original PC? – HaydnWVN Aug 21 '12 at 15:49
Does the modem support Windows 7? – Ramhound Aug 21 '12 at 15:56
OMG, thank you all for the replies. I have posted this on behalf of my friend. I have wrongly mentioned about the XP PC. He said that the PC also contains windows 7 and not XP installed in it. He can connect to the internet through it – kunaguvarun Aug 21 '12 at 17:10
