You will need to run the network setup wizard on both computers. On the computer that has the phoneline in its modem, click the first connection method. Choose your internet connection and type in your computer's name. Type in either your Workgroup name or Domain name, and click next. Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) should already be selected along with the firewall. Finish the wizard on that computer. Then go to the other computer and do the same thing, but choose the second option, and follow the prompts and finish. Hook up the computers and you should have your connection shared.
