On the laptop, open the properties for the WiFi connection, and in the properties dialogue box on one of the tabs you should see the option to share the Internet Connection with other computers. This is called ICS or Internet Connection Sharing.

You will need an Ethernet cross-over cable to connect the laptop to the desktop machine.

By the way, if you connect your desktop by Ethernet and the laptop by wireless, I suspect that the device you call a modem is actually a router.

I hope this helps.
