If it is a standard 'dongle' and not a router, then I think that you would need to set up 'Internet Connection Sharing' (ICS) - and possibly have the two laptops linked together by a cable.

Go into the 'Help' section on your computer and enter 'Internet Connection Sharing' and read all about it

We recently asked this question ourselves as in the UK a router is available to do exactly this, it's not available here yet, but yes it is possible.
