Since you have the network set up already, then you can provide your Internet connection to computers on it with "Shared to other computers" in the Network Manager. You set that on the connection that gives you Internet access (not the ad-hoc network itself that you want to share to). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager0.7#IPv4 Settings and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing.

(I am guessing you figured that out, since you have marked this question as Solved, so the above post is mainly for the benefit of other users.)
