For some reason your nonworking laptop is getting a gateway of 192.168.0.1, while the working one is getting 192.168.2.1
I find this very strange given that DHCP is enabled on both and should be setting the gateway for each device.
Just for now try assigning a static ip address to the laptop. Give it the same IP(192.168.2.2) and subnetmask(255.255.255.0) and default gateway of 192.168.2.1
