Hey,
  http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php shows how to
set up internet connection sharing using 'firestarter' which is a nice
front end to ip-tables.
  Or there's http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370
  It's a few years old now, but it shows a step by step way to (manually)
set up connection sharing on an ubuntu box.

  The google search term that'll help most is probably 'Ubuntu
internet connection sharing'.

  Hope this helps,

cheers,
Owen.
