So, I was wondering if I get a standard wireless router and feed it
with an internet connection from the laptop, configuring my computer
as a dhcp server.

Would that work? Did anyone already tried this?

Probably, but it may depend on the router. The Netgear DG834 will do it, I'm
currently using two with an MS Small Business Server, which is handling DHCP
for the network. A third router on the network is actually the Internet
gateway, as the customer is now on ADSL2+ and the version of DG834 that they
have doesn't do that.

I can't seem to find the Netgear model you recommended on my city.
This one seems to be a good option for me:

You-Link 54Mbps 802.11g Wireless G Router LAN
- Static & Dynamic Routing With TCP/IP VPN
- pass-through(IPS ec,L2TP),NAT,PPTP
- PPPoe,DHCP(client & server)
- Function: Automatically detects your ISP type,Exposed
Host(DMZ),MACaddress authentication,URL content filtering,logs and
e-mail alerts of Internet activity
- Modulation Type:PFDM with BPSK,QPSK,16QAM,64QAM,DBPSK,DQPSK,CCK
- Firewall:Stateful packet Inspection(SPI) and Dos attack protection
- Encryption:64,128-bit WEP Encryption,WEP-PSK

I suppose its features are enough for this sharing operation. Is there
any other important specification?

Wireless routers do generally have DHCP servers, though you may want to have
a different machine do it for some reason, such as automatic DNS
integration. With MS SBS, it is strongly advised that the SBS handles DHCP,
mostly for this reason.

That's the case of my ppp connection.

Thanks for helping.
