You will need a special USB networking cable for the 2nd PC (Laptop), if you
are connecting with USB cables and a Hub. It might be time to consider using
an Ethernet connection and router to network PC's and have internet
connection. This will need the purchase of NIC cards for you PC and Laptop.

Fine. I already connect the modem to my main computer via any USB port I
choose. My problem came about when I was installing the software into my
laptop and it told me I didn't have a network interface card but I do have
an
IRQ available. I had assumed that since I can connect via USB on my main
computer, then I can also connect via USB on my laptop. I think I am still
correct in assuming that but there is somethin amiss.
 
Ok! Lets not!
