Backwards Internet sharing

Although I have been using linux for years, I am a home user with limited networking knowledge.
That said, here is my quandry. Next week I am taking my laptop to a Software Freedom Day event.
We will have wireless internet access. I would like to set my laptop up to connect to the internet using wireless and act as a router to a wired lan for the demo boxes.
How could this be done?
Please be specific on your answers. ie.. say set NAT up this way vs use NAT.

Thank you in advance
