Lightbulb Hub Networking Help

I have two computers. One is a laptop the other a desktop. The laptop is connect to the internet throught a wireless connection. I would like to feed that connection to my desktop through the use of a hub. I believe this is possible. I have done it before but with the networking wizards it is a hit or miss situation that many times I cannot replicate. So in a nutshell, I want to be able to get the internet to my desktop. I have a d-link 5 port hub. Though it may seem trivial I was hoping if someone can take me step by step throught the process. Including connecting the cables to the hub and which computer to run the wizard first. Also the steps I need to take in the wizard. Thanks.

Use internet connection sharing with source = wireless, output = RJ45 from your laptop to the HUB. Now everythign connected to the hub has access As for specific steps... i cant remember ... perhaps www.practicallynetworked.com has guides (they prolly do)
