How do I share my Internet connection wirelessly with other gadgets while using it simultaneously on my MacBook Pro?

I am using a Idea Netsetter 3g dongle for broadband Internet access. However, when I go to the settings to share it with other devices, the MacBook Pro is the only one left out of the connection.
