If you don't mind spending $50, then Network Magic might solve all your 
problems and more.

You can download a free trial version and see if it does what you want.  
It takes all the hassle out of networking.

You probably could set up internet sharing on your own for free if you 
worked on it.  You might learn something along the way.  But, if you 
don't want to bother, then Network Magic is great.

I used to use it, and it worked fine.  I abandoned it when I installed a 
Windows Home Server on an older computer that I was no longer using.  
Network Magic was easier for sharing files, but I was running too many 
connections and I didn't need the capabilities when you can get a 32 Gig 
USB file "card"
from Kingston or Sandisk.
