Westell 6100g connects to Windows 7 laptop but not to Windows XP desktop.

When I connect my Westell Model 6100G to my laptop with Windows 7 on it, I see that the data and internet lights constantly blink, which I see as data coming from the internet, and coming into my computer. The laptop detects the connection with the modem and everything works pretty well.

But when I connect the modem into the desktop, the computer does not detect the modem at all. The data light constantly blinks, and the other two stay on. This modem has worked on the computer before, and nothing's changed about the computer or modem. What could be wrong?
