Internet Connection Sharing on Lucid (10.04)

[idleone]

Hello Clint, this is taken directly from our IRC bot.

"If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine
with other machines in the network see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may
also use !firestarter:
http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php "

hope it helps.
