Are you just running hostapd? Because you also need provide tcp/ip networking, ie, some kind of dhcp server, and appropriate firewall rules for NAT, DNS, and forwarding. This can be done manually using iptables, dnsmasq. But I use the firestarter firewall package, and dhcp3-server. Firestarter provided a rather gui friendly interface for all this. Just make sure to set the gateway address bring up your AP nick before starting firestarter.
