So, your situation is like this: you have 2 computers and 1 already connected to Internet and the other cannot....
You should have router, if not then use PROXY server like FREEPROXY which is easy to setup.

check your firewall has allowed each computer to access each other,
make sure simple file sharing is turn on (My coputer - folder options - Veiw)
are they both on the same network name & do they have indvidual names)

In both their TCP/IP settings, they must have different IP addresses (e.g. if your router is 192.168.0.1, then use 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 for PC1 and PC2 respectively).
Preferred DNS Server and Default gateway for both must be IP address of your router (e.g. 192.168.0.1 as above). Alternative DNS server can be blank.
