If u have airtel unlimited connection then buy a switch.Set your modem in auto dial mode using the modems inbuilt page through Ppoee.Remember to change your modem's homepage password.Connect your modem to the switch and both the PC and laptop too to the switch.Then set your net connection to always on in both the laptop and pc.

yes you can do.
Configure your modem to PPPoE protocol.
But mind..the USB interface will face frequent disconnection problem.
