Cox Internet Cable

I have a Cox provided cable modem connected to a Desktop. I wanted to
connect my laptop to the modem so I unplugged the Ethernet cable from the
back of the Desktop and plugged it into the laptop's Ethernet port. I could
never get it to connect to the internet. From what I read in the NG's, I
believe the problem has to do with the MAC address of the laptop being
different than that of the desktop. If this is true, how can I fix it?
I have tried resetting the modem but still do not get a connection. Reading
of the NG's leads me to believe that resetting the modem may well not
correct the situation because the MAC of the laptop might not be in the Cox
database and is thus blocked out.
I may be all wet in my beliefs and would welcome someone handing me towel
and suggesting ways to get both machines connected but not at once of
course.
The next step, if I ever get the laptop to connect by itself, will be to
install a router so that both can connect at the same time.
Thank you very much.
