I've not doubt about that, but a simple search on Google hadn't given me anything like what Adeptus linked.

The feature for Internet sharing on Linux is usually referred to as "IP masquerading". There is a generic HOWTO for doing it the hard way with any Linux distribution, but it seems that Ubuntu provides a graphical tool for setting it up -- try this first.
Squid, which was mentioned by another poster, is a caching web proxy. Combined with masquerading it may speed up web browsing a bit, but isn't necessary otherwise. Without masquerading, it can be set up to share the connection for the purpose of web browsing only -- other apps that connect to Internet won't work through it.
I see. I've downloaded guidedog, I can access the Windows Network, so it seems I did something good. But I can't access internet on Windows, so I must've done something bad.
I'm still figuring it all out, though.
Thanks a lot, Adeptus!
