Nathan,
Here are a couple websites with useful tutorials:

Your description is not too easy to understand, but I gather that you have
Computer #1 connected to the cable modem thru a USB cable, and Computer #2
connected to Computer #1 thru an Ethernet cable. Right?
If that's the case, it's not hard at all. Assuming that you already have
Computers #1 and #2 talking to each other, and Computer #1 has internet
connectivity, then you just setup Computer #1 as an ICS server, and Computer #2
as an ICS client. It's all explained in the tutorials. Or post back here, and
we can walk you thru it.
