I think this may put me on the right track to figuring out my system at home. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 and recently enabled connection sharing for my 3G USB modem. My problem is that when I enabled ICS I was no long able to access my shared folders from my Windows machines. At first I thought it had to do with my routing tables but after I read this I figured it was my iptables. Is there a similar article for this on Ubuntu? I'm sure I can work through it and get it running but it would be nice if there were something to walk me through it (I'm very new). Great writeup!

Is there a similar article for this on Ubuntu? I’m sure I can work through it and get it running but it would be nice if there were something to walk me through it (I’m very new).
