I was trying to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyWirelessToWiredConnectionSharing but it does'nt seem to be upgraded. The dhcpd.conf file is in /etc/dhcp and not in /etc/dhcp3. But a worse problem is that I can't find /etc/default/dhcp3-server at all. How would I do this in Ubuntu 11.10?

When you are logged in:

Go to Network menu in the panel.

Navigate to "Edit connections".

When that window opens, select "Auto eth0", and press "Edit" (This assumes that you are connected to the Internet on some other port, for example wlan0 using wireless).

A new window will open. Navigate to the tab titled "IPv4 Settings", and change the Method to "Shared to other computers".

After restarting the computer, you should now be able to plug in any computer into your other Ethernet port or share through your wireless card.
