Ok;

I assume you've got desktop connected to the USB modem, and a nic in your desktop and your lappy both connected together via a cross-over cable.

Now on the desktop, find the nic connection (double click boxes bottom right), go to properties, double click TCP/IP (Internet protocol) and go to 'Use the following IP address'.. In the IP address box use '192.168.0.1'... Subnet mask : '255.255.255.0'. Leave the home gateway blank, and click OK or apply, whatever, and close that box.

Now get on your notebook, and open the Nic connection on that. Do the same, go to properties.. go to TCP/IP(Internet protocol).. and go to "use the following ip..." In the IP addy box use : '192.168.0.2', in the subnet mask.. '255.255.255.0'... in the home gateway, you want to be using the PC thats got the net connection, so in that you'd need '192.168.0.1' (as that is the desktop IP connected to the net)..

Reboot, and reset your modem.. and you should be OK.
