I am using MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard, and my system is connected to internet via wired broadband connection.
I want to share internet connection from my MacBook Pro via Wi-Fi, so I can connect other devices to internet.
How can I achieve this?

I don't know if this option was also available in Snow Leopard, but if you are on Lion you could try the following:
- Set up the native cisco client - if you don't know how, you can use this handy guide I created a few days back
- Once you have tried and confirmed that everything works, your VPN connection should show up as one of the options in the Internet Sharing part of Preferences Sharing.
- select the connection, choose on which network connection you'd like to share it and you're done.
Mac OS X Mountain Lion supports Internet Sharing using WPA/WPA2. You will need to upgrade to get this functionality. This article has a little more info. And here is a screenshot of the new option for WPA2 in Mountain Lion (10.8):
