Your connection to which? If I'm not mistaken (it's been years since I did this) you have to set up your networking so that your PC acts as a gateway for other devices. Then of course you need a crossover cable which isn't the same as a regular ethernet cable (different pins).

Sorry if you already knew all that. I just haven't done it in a while but it was easy to share a dialup connection that way despite being slow. It's probably a matter of finding the right settings and possibly not depending on wizards to do it.
