    More info needed. Which cable modem? in what way is connectivity limited? Speed? Services? Applications? What other software is running on the machine? Personal firewalls? Settings for the XP SP2 firewall?

    On the PC that does connect, what IP address is it getting? Try assigning an IP address manually on the 'dodgy' computer...
