They will not both be able to access Arimba wireless at the same time unless you fake out Arimba with an Access point/router, or slave one system to the other with something like ICS.
ICS would be the easiest way. You said it didn't work but gave no symptoms.
How did you connect the two computers? How did you configure addressing? ICS needs the "serving" system to be available at 192.168.0.1, but that's usually possible.
It sounds as if you have a WiFi card of some kind to connect to Arimba. What address does your system use when connected? (Start->Run->cmd, then "ipconfig" for the address.) Does your system have an ethernet port you could use to connect your laptop?
