You can use IP forwarding with Maemo PC Connectivity. By default it works with Diablo (N8x0) devices but with N900 you need to recompile Fremantle (N900) kernel to add NAT support for it.

Documentation is here:

There are some known issues with N900 compared to N8x0 devices that are listed here:

Some of the issues have workarounds but not all.

Cheers,
