It depends on what type of modem you have. If it's a dial-up modem, you can interconnect the two computers with ethernet, then set up the network to use computer #1s modem to connect computer #2 to the internet.
If it's a broadband or DSL modem, you really should have a hardware firewall, and most of them provide multiple (like 4) computer connections.

Share a single Internet connection. Microsoft® Windows® XP has a feature called Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). Using ICS, one computer, called the ICS host, shares its Internet connection with the rest of the computers on the network. By sharing one Internet connection, you can simultaneously surf the Web on your computer while another family member checks e-mail on a different computer.

You can network two computers together, connect the modem to one computer and share it with the other computer.
