What operating system are you running on both systems, and how is the broadband device connected to the computers (usb, or something else)?

viplovdeep: If you are able to connect with LAN but unable to ping to Interent, then there might be a problem with the DNS. (It needs to resolve the IP with the Hostname)
Check whether you have the same DNS Server IP in laptop and PC. Else use the OpenDNS.
laizer: Going forward please raise a new thread for your question. Otherwise, your problem won't be seen by users. Now reg your problem, there might be several reason -- Low Wi-Fi Signal, Malfunctioning driver or the modem might be configured with MAC Addressing filtering which will allow only specific MAC to connect. Please check for Wi-Fi Settings in your modem.
