My mum has an internet connection via cable and was using my laptop.Now she has bought her own laptop and we both want to share the same modem with our laptops.How does this work?I don't understand much about computers,so thank you for giving me easy answers.I know it has something to do with ICS,but I have no clue how to go about that.

-if both laptops have wireless network card :
in your laptop properties of the internet connection click advanced => tick the "allow other network users to connect through this computer internet connction" an pick the wireless connection
then configure the the properties if the wireless network card to be in "ad-hoc" mode, also change you mam laptop wireless network card to "ad-hoc" mode , do a search for a network in your laptop mam
- if you havn't wireless network card , then you should use normal network socket which is exist in all laptops and you need a hub or switch
