Forwarding traffic question
I must admit, I'm an absolute n00b when it comes to networking, so please forgive me. 
What I'm trying to do is this:
Internet connection ---> Router --(wlan)---> Laptop --(lan)---> Desktop
The problem is finding out how to bridge the laptop connection to output through my ethernet port. I've played around with bridge-utils, but to no avail. All help is greatly appreciated!

Re: Forwarding traffic question
This has been discussed a few times on this forum. Here's an article on the arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Internet_Share
Note that you can't bridge a wired interface with a wireless interface (at least it wasn't possible the last time I checked, and I doubt it is now), so both interfaces must be in a different LAN and you must do routing between them. See the wiki.
