Under Microsoft Windows, this can all be done very simply by going into
the settings for wlan0 and clicking "Share this internet connection".
From there, you select a NIC thru which the connection will be shared,
e.g. eth0. And it all works perfectly.

I'm very interested in Linux, and I *do* want to learn about iptables
and dhcpd and so forth, but right now I'm just looking for a quick fix
so that I can get a little network up and running here at home.
Basically I'm looking for the most simplistic config files that will
achieve what I'm trying to do. Does anyone have config files that will
simulate Microsoft's connection sharing? Or perhaps could you guide me
thru what I've to do? [...]

Look at the middle of the image. Cannot be simpler than clicking the icon
and following the prompts. You can later look at the guts of the files
(they are all plain text) to see what was done and learn from that.
