I don't know whether you'd like to have and point-and-click-solution of 
are prepared to reconfigure the device via the command line.

In the latter case, I guess it could work to connect the N900 and all 
notebooks in WIFI adhoc mode, configure the notebook's default routes 
and nameserver settings appropriately and setup NAT on the N900. Some 
scripting could automate this process.

However, if JoikuSpot works as advertised, that's probably the simpler 
solution.

Greetings,
