You will need a "CROSSOVER" ethernet cable for computer to computer connections - (unless both of  your network cards both support "auto negotiation" most older cards don't newer cards do.)

You will "share" the internet connection on the laptop. then you will connect the second machine to the first machine ethernet. You should "automatically" pull an IP from the host.
