Please explain in a bit more detail. Are both computers at the same location? Do they both connect to the cable modem (with no router involved)? Do you have multiple IP addreses assigned to you by your cable company, and if so how is the second computer to know which IP address is for it? It seems strange to expect 2 computers to both connect by a single cable modem and no router; it seems like some important details are missing.
