share internet connection with other machine

[devillion]

i have a laptop with a BCM43xx series wireless card running windows xp sp2. it also has an ethernet port.

i have my ubuntu desktop with a generic ethernet nic.

is it possible to connect the windows laptop to my wireless network, then connect the ubuntu box to the ethernet port of the laptop, and make the ubuntu box bridge or share the wireless network?

also if i am using the wrong terminology for this procedure, im sorry. bridge/share are the best words i can think of.
