The USB cable at the computer is not providing as much energy as the charger connected with the wall socket. While the socket charger is providing about 1 A, the USB output at the computer is only providing about 0,5 A. So, probably that is why it is not working: Your Tab needs a higher amperage.

Another reason could be that you are using a broken cable or a cable that is not the original or not well fitting. But if it is working at the wall socket, the reason might be the problem with the current intensity as I mentioned above.
