Problem using Virgin broadband on 2 PCs

Wonder is someone can help me.
I unplugged the ethernet cable from my PC (running XP) to see if I could plug it into an older PC running Vista to see if it would connect to the Internet - to my surprise it seemed to work with Windows creating 'Network 2'.
So i powered off and put the ethernet back in to my original PC - it will now not connect to the internet 'network did not assign a network address to the computer - limited or no connnectivity...'
Help!
