How to share reliance broadband connection between two laptops?

I want to share my reliance broadband connections between two laptops, in same room. How can it be done without using any extra hardware and/or using wireless functionality of laptop??
I have Vista on both systems.
I tried to share connection using ad-hoc network, but it didn’t worked.

the easiest way and cheapest way if you don’t mind cables is to use a crossover cable it looks just like a normal network cable but with wires crossed over so you don’t need to use a network hub but you’ll still have to use the network wizard found in the control panel on both computers
you can find out a little more about crossover cables here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable

    You could connect a Cat-5 Ethernet crossover cable between the laptops wired ethernet ports and setup a local LAN with connection sharing enabled
