That shouldn't happen and I've never seen it happen.
What is that first 5 digits of your ip address?

The first 5 are 86.1.20 and yes there is a difference between my own PC and the troubled laptop, but every time one of you good guys comes back with an idea, I have to the change the modem output ethernet cable from one to the other , and reboot the modem so I can't to connected test at the same time.
I have now succeeded in doing a ping of the IP addy and it comes up with "32 bytes of data sent" Packets sent =4 received =4 lost =0
round trip time = Min 0ms Max 0ms

i presume you are using the correct ethernet cable type to connect directly to the modem?

I will try your suggestion, and the cable is the same one as used for five years on my own setup, working perfectly.
