Maybe the problem can be solved with some softwares.
As I know, the easiest way is to use 'WinGate' as follows:

1. The desktop should have two Ethernet Adapter, eg. A and B, A is connected
   to the CableModem and B is connected to the Laptop;
2. Install 'WinGate' Server in the desktop;
3. Install 'WinGate' client in the laptop;

Thus the two computers are in a LAN and there is only one channel to the
outside
via 'WinGate'.

After simple configurations, the laptop can be easily connected to Internet
with the help of the desktop.

Of course the disadvantage is that the desktop will have to be keep running
when
the laptop is connected to Internet.
