You don’t necessarily have to unless the broadband modem you have is
USB and connects to only one machine.
If you have an ethernet based one, you don’t need to use sharing.
If you don’t have the ethernet one, then what you need to do is enable
internet connection sharing for the existing broadband connection on
the PC that can access the internet.
It will require however, that the other PC is connected to the
internet pc via ethernet cards. You will need a crossover cable if
you connect them directly, but if you have a hub or switch, then
normal cables.
The PC with internet connection sharing, will ask you to choose the
network card, and it will assign an IP Address of 192.168.0.1 to this
card. You will then need to make sure your other machine is in the
same IP range too, eg:
IP - 192.168.0.2
Subnet - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.0.1
Hope this helps!
