Ok, so how do I set up my laptop as a wifi router?

Is it possible?

Is it possible with a 3G modem/dongle attached?

What operating system is the machine you're wanting to share the connection from? You can share your internet connection through windows and setup an ad-hoc wifi network for your other machines to connect to, should be simple.

Google ICS + OperatingSystem + ad-hoc wifi
Should produce plenty how to's
e.g
https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=ICS+windows+7+ad-hoc+wifi&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t

Just bear in mind that there are two elements to set up:
1) Ad-hoc wireless connection
2) Internet connection sharing
