The answer has to be "maybe". The software in the modem may or may not let the two computers communicate without a working uplink, and you have to get the configuration right in the PC with the wireless link to the house.

Can you put together a diagram with all the devices? Something along these lines. My two laptops still put up a fight about having two network links.
