that is because it is connected via ethernet - as far as the sytem is concerned the modem is just another network address, rather than a 'device', as such.

I share Rob C's concern that what you want won't work - the usb cable you have is designed to transfer files between two computers - a driver would be necessary to get it to emulate a network device, which would have to be installed on both computers, before the ICS wizard was run.

To be honest I would think about getting a router, it is, by far, the easiest way to share an internet connection across a network.
