Question [Q] How to share PC LAN internet with my phone via usb?

Hi I don't have a router/a wireless card for my desktop, and I was wondering if there is a program for internet sharing via USB? Something like PdaNet(tried it on my G3 but it doesn't work)...

I found this, but you have to use Linux.

Sorry for the trouble with the link, but it does not allow me to post one.

What you are referring to is called "Reverse USB Tethering". It is a function available by default in HTC phones (Internet Pass Through) but sadly we do not have this function natively built in. I made a thread on this topic long time back, search for it.

It all depends on what OS you are using on your PC and whether or not you have a static LAN connection. Theoretically it can be implemented for Windows but it is quite tricky and requires DHCP enabling. Unfortunately i have a static connection and i couldnt do it so i use a wi-fi dongle.
