Hi

Since you mentioned two NICs I assume that the person is using Broadband
Internet connection.

  1.. Plug one NIC to the Internet Modem, and make sure that the computer is
capable to access the Internet.
  2.. Connect the Laptop with Crossover CAT5e to the second NIC on the
Internet capable computer.Configure a Network between the two computers.
  3.. Log to this page it has a lot of links to instructions to Windows
Network Settings, and Sharing: http://www.ezlan.net/Installing.html] Windows
Network - Installing & Sharing.
  4.. Configure Windows ICS for Internet Sharing:
