Is it running windows ?
Then in your network-settings, right click on your NIC connection, and select "Share connection" go through all the settings, where it default will say NIC is the one to be shared.
Then select prefferences on your WIFI link, and in advanced settings set it to "peer to peer", (under linux/in AP setups, thats called ad-hoc) asign it some IP with a suitable netmask.

On your PDA set the WIFI to "peer to peer", here it might be called ad-hoc, and set it to have an IP within the same range as the one you've assigned to your PC WIFI, and make sure the gateway on the PDA is set to the PC WIFIs assigned IP.
As for nameservers on the PDA you can use the same as assingned to your PC, since they're given as IPs and not DNS names, the PC will just route any request from the PDA for name lookups.

On another note, You've might noticed that I've been away and such for quite some time now, the reason is that on top of my moving, I've gotten a new job which I start on monday.. So I'm pretty anxious on what to expect.
