Sharing an Internet connection

[Ganz Doof]

If a laptop (with bluetooth) is connected to the Internet using a LAN cable,
is it possible for a second laptop (also with bluetooth) to piggy back on
that connection somehow (i.e.without having an independent LAN or Wi-Fi
connection)?

Conversely, if a laptop has a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet, is it
possible for a second laptop to be hooked up with the first one by a LAN
cable and share the original connection?

If the answer to one (or both) of the questions is Yes, what steps need to
be followed to accomplish this?
