This is surprisingly easy at least with Ubuntu 12.04. I have not personally been able to test this on 12.10 but It has been confirmed that this works there too. I use the Gnome Classic desktop but similar steps should work with any desktop.

I'm connecting my Windows 7 machine to the internet via the Wifi on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine.

step 1 step1

step 2 step2

step 3 step3
