I have a laptop running 11.10 with 2 network interfaces, wired and wireless. Wireless interface connects to the router with DHCP and connects to the internet. Wired interface is connected to a switch. I want the computers on the switch to get their IP addresses from the router not my laptop.

Yes, that is what you need to do. Sharing an internet connection using Network Manager will setup the sharer as a DHCP server, etc, which is not what you want. You can read how to do it here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man5/bridge-utils-interfaces.5.html |

You can easily create a bridge using "NetBridge" a GUI network bridge creator. You can download in from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bridger/ |
