You need to post your proposed network topology. But one way to do it, assuming you have a wired router/modem giving you access to the internet and which is also your DHCP server and your laptop has both wired and wireless LAN then...
Set the laptop wifi to be an access point. The method varies depending on hardware. Be aware that some hardware does not permit this mode either.
In 'network connections' select both the wired and wifi devices and right click and select 'bridge connections'
That should be about it.
