But, wouldn't that mean I'll have to keep my desktop on to have internet on Laptop?

I'm posting more details which might help you. Here are some commands which i ran and their results

Code:
bash-4.2# /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1     
Polling for DHCP server on interface eth0:

Please note here that I have also tried using network manager (added in slackware 14.1) without success. The commands i ran for networkmanager are:

Code:
ifconfig eht0 down hw ether 00:24:1D:F2:23:9E
ifconfig eht0 up
/etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager start

Also, I tried using wicd with similar issue. And, I could not find a way to clone MAC on wicd GUI.

What i think is that if Hathway had not restricted the connection to one pc (i.e., by storing MAC address and giving connection to that PC only), slackware would connect without any problems. But because I have to change my laptop's MAC address to match my other computer's, maybe slackware isn't reading it correctly (i.e., it's trying to connect by default MAC), whereas Puppy Linux did.

What do you think?

smpppd.conf

SMPPPD.CONF(5)							      SMPPPD							    SMPPPD.CONF(5)

NAME

       smpppd.conf - global smpppd configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       When  smpppd  and smpppd-ifcfg start they first load their configuration from /etc/smpppd.conf, which contains basic information concerning
       their behavior.

       The configuration file /etc/smpppd.conf has a simple file format with a key = value pair in each line.

OPTIONS

       stop-on-disconnect = always, notdemand or never
	      Shall the dialup connection be shutdown when the last frontend disconnects?  Default value is always.

       reload-selects-default-provider = yes or no
	      Shall a reload (SIGHUP) select the default provider for all interfaces or keep the current one?  Default value is yes.

       open-inet-socket = yes or no
	      Shall the smpppd open a internet connection, so that remote frontends can control the dialup connection?	Default value is no.

       slp-register = yes or no
	      Try to register at the slp daemon (service location protocol) if set to yes and an internet connection is opened.

       bind-address = <ip-address>
	      Specify the ip address on which to listen for connections from remote frontends.	The default is to listen on all addresses.

       host-range = <min ip-address> <max ip-address>
	      Specify a host range from which remote frontends are allowed to connect to the smpppd.

       password = <password>
	      The password used to authenticate remote frontends, UTF-8 encoded for those who really care.  If the password is empty, no authenti-
	      cation is done.

       number-of-loglines = <lines>
	      The number of lines to keep in the log.  Default is 250.

       accounting = yes or no
	      Enable or disable accounting.  Default is yes.

       alive-interval = <seconds>
	      Interval for alive lines in the accounting log.  A value of 0 disables alive lines.  Default value is 900.

       debug = yes or no
	      Turn debugging on or off.  Default is off.  This can also be controlled at runtime with cinternet.
