I am assuming that there is no wireless router connected to the cable modem. If this is the case, then I would recommend purchasing a wireless router. Walmart has them for a very reasonable price, and they are relatively easy to setup.
On the laptop that will not connect when plugged in, check the network settings to make sure that they are set to automatic addressing (DHCP).
