[Q] How to use PC internet connection from Android?

Hello!
I'm using Blackstone with WM6.5.3 and I sync by USB cable to my WinXP computer.
When connected I browse on WM using internet LAN connection of my PC.
Now I installed Froyo 2.2 on my Blackstone.
Is possible to connect by USB cable and use PC internet connection, instead of 3G connection?
thanks

No, you can't. WiFi works, though.

ok, thanks

Seeing as I don't have a router, I set up an ad-hoc network to share internet on my WM, which works fine. But Android can't see Ad-hoc networks.
Windows 7 can create full access points instead of an hoc networks, but I'm stuck with Vista.
Any ideas?

[Q] Trying to connect to ad-hoc network

Hi I have no router with internet connected through ethernet into my laptop which also has wifi.
I successfully made an ad hoc network with my laptop but when I tried to connect my Epic via wifi running SRF 1.2 it could not recognize it.
Any solutions?

Bump, I have the exact same question. I am trying to ad-hoc to my laptop so I can use the boxee remote without a router. I found this thread and am wondering if it would work with my phone without causing any issues

why not just connect to home router.. it's much slower for the phone to connect to a laptop, which is connected to router anyways...
