I've never actually been successful in setting up a shared connection in that
manner. For simplicity, you might just go buy a wireless router and use that
to share the internet connection.
You might be able to do what's called a "bridge" between your internet
connection and you're wireless connection, and set up the sharing that way,
but it's clunky, difficult, and maybe even impossible.
