You should enable ICS on the Local Area Connection for the Touchtel modem.
Make sure that no gateway is configured for the LAN connection.

However, you may not need ICS in this scenario and configuring it may be the
cause of your problem:

The Touchtel connection has a private IP address. This suggests that some
device is already providing NAT for Internet access. If the 'modem' has
multiple ethernet ports, try connecting the laptop to it directly. If
multiple ports are not available, try connecting the device to a switch and
connecting both computers to the switch.
