my laptop uses a usb broadband, can I use my laptop's ethernet port to connect a modem to share the internet connection further?
 
You may be able to do it with internet connection sharing, but you wouldn't connect a modem, but a router instead (your USB card would be the modem), the setup would be rather complex. I strongly advise against it unless you are familiar with networking.

They have some routers that you can plug a USB broadband device into, which you can then connect to your router via wireless or wired, but not all USB broadband cards are supported.
