10.10 - How do I connect a wired desktop to internet via a wireless laptop?

I have a desktop system running Ubuntu 10.10. It has no wireless card just a wired Ethernet card.



I have a Thinkpad T42 laptop running Ubuntu 10.10 in the same room as the desktop. It uses its wireless connection to connect to a wireless access point in another room. The wireless access point provides internet access to the laptop.



Is there anyway to create a wired connection between the desktop and the laptop so that the desktop can connect out to the internet through the laptop?
