When both computers are connected to the router, they will have different addresses. Heck, even if you grab the cable from your old machine, some routers will detect that and give you a new addy.

Like others have said: check your port forwarding. Go to your new machine, click Start, Run, and in the box type CMD. At the command prompt, type this:
ipconfig
and take a look at the second line of the output, which is your IP address. Go to your router and add another port forward to your laptop IP.
