Redirect internet connection


I am trying to find out how to redirect an internet connection. What I need is the internet to come in one computer (via wireless) and allow another computer to connect to my computer (via ethernet) and use the internet. Is this possible?


Thanks

yes... you can do it either with a proxy server or with SNAT (source network address translation)... for the proxy you can use squid, and for configuring SNAT you'd use iptables... i think SNAT is pretty much the simplest method... do you have the network physically set-up already?? like, all the connections and stuff?? what distro are you running on those boxes??
