Unable to connect to internet through network (Moved from Internet Explorer)

[golfer18]

Hi people, hope someone out there can help me. My network connection is between my main pc and my laptop in another room, running on ethernet cable. Tiscali broadband is installed on the main pc. When i view network connections it says they are connected, however they are not receiving packets of data yet they are sending. Therefore i can't connect to the internet on my laptop, only my main pc. When i open internet explorer on my laptop, it says detecting proxy settings, then just never connects. Help please?
