You might want to open a command prompt window on the "host" PC (the one connected directly to the internet) and do the following command:

ipconfig /all

Write down all the info (DNS, Gateway) and then statically assign that to your laptop along with the IP it presently has. Once you do, it should work if you've set ICS up properly.
