You can run a NAT/Firewall software like Firestarter on the LAPTOP (install from the software center).
Another solution without running anything is to do the NAT manually with iptables on NAT Table postrouting using Masquerade on your wi-fi interface. See rule below:
-A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
and you will need to enable ip forwarding with:
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
or make it permanent with:
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
Modify the line:
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Apply:
sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf
Verify:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Should show 1
