For this, You need to root your device & install Virtuous Unity 2.37 Rom (or any Rom supporting internet pass through).
Internet Passthrough mode allows you to share your PCs Internet connection from your HTC Android device via its USB connection, saving you money on cellular data costs when you're not in range of a wireless access point or don't wish to use WiFi for whatever reason.
This is only supported on Windows at the time of writing, not Mac OS.
In order to use Internet Passthrough mode, you will need to have HTC Sync version 3.0.5439 or later installed on the PC.
Also note that when connected in Internet Passthrough mode, it is not possible to synchronise with the device via USB.
Once the HTC Sync software has been installed, connect the Android device and when prompted select the option to connect in Internet Passthrough mode. You will prompted on the device to perform common troubleshooting steps if the connection is unsuccessful, such as checking firewall and anti virus software

Windows will detect new hardware automatically and install a network adapter using the drivers installed as part of the HTC Sync installation process:
Your Android device is now connected to the Internet via your PC.
Ty maybe I should have done a lil more research...

Solution for error " The page you are looking for cannot be found due to unknown error 0x80072f78 "
If you are using ActiveSync 4.2 and have a problem with Desktop Pass-through it may be caused by a Layered Service Provider (LSP) that use the Windows TCP/IP stack. This has been known to occur with ISA Server. The registry file LSPValue.reg will reverse this setting. Microsoft and the Pocket PC OEM does not support users that edit the registry.

I copied the file to my device and added it, soft reset, but internet via usb doesn't work. Please help me?
Still this message:

Found the answer to my problem
The solution is to download this:
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/LSPvalue.reg
Right click save target as...
Then run it on the PC (not the PDA)
And internet will function via USB.
Although somebody at pocketpcfaq.com was the original source of the fix (thanks, whoever you are!), I also want to say "thanks" to nicosomers, because the post here is the one that I found, and the one that solved my exact same problem. Adding the AllowLSP=0 key to my registry (and rebooting, of course) was all that I needed to allow me to use activesync pass-through to access the internet on my windows mobile 5.0 "not so smartphone". So thanks!
Thanks
Many, many thanks nicosomers.
You realy help me.
It's impossible to connect to the WEB using my Blackstone, as I tap on "Internet sharing" Active Sync disconnects, but on the display I read "Verifing connection" and nothing else happens.
Here's a screenshot of what's shown up in the "control panel\device manager" when I deactived ActivSync and tap internet sharing icon:

I've re-installed the drivers and point the location to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\Drivers" and still no luck...
Any help would be very appreciated
Follow this guide, works fine for me.
Thanx, but that's not what I meant: my problem is the connection via USB, any suggest?
I just tried this.
This process using USB with my Vista laptop.
1. Connect HD via USB, let sync complete (or connect as disc drive).
2. Run Internet Sharing on the HD.
3. Select USB in the PC connection field.
4. Select your carrier in the Network Connection field.
5. Hit connect.
6. Vista installs the driver.
7. Connected until I hit disconnect.
See attached screen shot.
Thanx my friend, but I have XP and I've tried your suggest a thousand times without success
I got same problem with xp activesyn usb connection, it's keep on disconnect, solve connection with bluetooth PAN (activesync didn't gave any headache with bluetooth)
Is anybody else getting very poor tethering support from their galaxy S?
I'm on rogers using the bell GT-i9000m and it's just terrible. If i don't use a third party program like pdanet my SC2 games will time out after 20 minutes and the internet will be very slow, yet internet on my phone will be very fast (3/3.5g).
Before anybody asks why I am gaming on a tethered phone instead of having a land line it's because my barracks are old and aren't wired for cable/dsl.
So...is there any alternative like "Wired tether for root useres" for a galaxy S? It didn't work the last time i tried to launch it.
PS. I'm using the "PC Internet" button when you plug in usb, as Kies doesn't want to launch for me without internet.
You tried pdanet or easytether? both allow usb tethering and don't need root access.
update: guess I did not read your post properly. I had read that the wifi tether isn't as fast as the cell connection.
What is wrong with sticking with pdanet anyway?
Using the original tethering function present in the International Galaxy S phone and it works perfectily.
Don't you have that in the US models ?

Anyone tried doing it? Do you get quite a bit of lag? I am connecting over my local Wifi and it is laggy.
(Turning off the screen increases lag a lot, but I guess that is because the CPU is slowed down, so that is OK.)
Well, I'm struggling to connect to mine
I know it's not my network because I can connect to my Iconia (on ICS), and my Iphone via wifi.
What rom are you using and how are you starting the ssh server on your Nexus?
As soon as I get it going I'll let you know about lag.
(My Iconia (on wifi) is very usuable - with only minor lag during login, but nowhere near as fast as my wired logins))

OK, I guess it is normal then, for me, it is usable, but slower than over ethernet. Pings are around 90ms, so that's just the way it is then.
I tried the DropBear SSH Server, SSHDroid just hung at initialisation. I also used a chrooted Ubuntu install with its own server, both were comparable in speed. Also I am using stock ROM.
