How can I connect HTC Touch mobile phone to my pc(Ubuntu)?

Hi,

I have a PC with Ubuntu on it, a HTC Touch mobile phone with Windows Mobile 6.1 on it.

My pc is connected to Internet, and I want to use this Internet connection on my phone.
i.e.:

Internet <-----> ADSL Modem <-----> PC(Ubuntu) <----> HTC Phone(WM6.1)

On my PC there are three network interfaces, (see code section for more info)
1)eth0 network interface between PC and ADSL modem
2)ppp0 ppp inteface between PC and ADSL mdoem(Internet)
3)eth1 network interface between PC and HTC Phone

Note: I know that i must share inetrnet connection but i don't know how to do it on ubuntu.

Thanks

What you're asking for will be a little time consuming. I used the HTC 8125 before my G1, and still haven't put enough time to set up Outlook in VMWare (Ubuntu host) just to get the old contacts off the 8125. Have you thought about buying a $25 wireless router for internet & $10 SDCard USB connector for file transfers?

I knew that this question is a time consuming one, and thanks for your response, i can sync my HTC contacts with odccm, synce-sync-engine and multisync in kubuntu 8.10.
you're right, a wireless router can solve internet connection problem, but i want to solve it as cheap as possible.
