Go2Linux posted a tutorial about sharing your 3G Internet connection over wifi (Linux / iPod Touch)



I was in a situation the other day, where I needed to connect my iPod Touch to the internet but there was no wifi available so I think about using my 3G data plan. I have a data plan with my Laptop, I use a Huawei E156 B, to connect my laptop with the 3G network.
Of course I have a wifi network in my Laptop too, so what I needed to do was:

Connect my laptop to the 3G network
Enable my wifi network in Ad-Hoc mode
Configure DHCP server to give IP to my iPod Touch
Enable IP forwarding in the Linux kernel
Add the needed routes.
Add needed IPTables rules for NAT
