Be sure you hook up the laptop to the cable modem before you turn it on. That way it should pick up an address. It may be the same but probably won't be since it is a different network card.
If you want to be able to have both on the internet at the same time you will need a router. Plug the cable modem into the router and the router (will have multiple connections on back) to the two computers. This way you don't mess with the desktop and can plug in the laptop whenever you need to for updating.
