One would think you would have more trouble with two sockets
I would say it's impossible to fit a plug into the wrong socket, but Computer Stupidities proves it isn't. However, I'd guarantee that the way you think is most likely is correct.
What are you using to access the interent right now? Switch the cable attached to your desktop modem with the one that came with your laptop. If you can still get online, it's not the cable.
