Sharing desktop Internet over USB?

[lonevvolf]

I haven't always got a WiFi network around, and I definitely don't want to use the slow and expensive GPRS connection. Is there any way to connect the iPhone to my desktop over USB, and have it use the desktop's internet connection?

I have the same problem. Can somebody slowly explain how can i get internet in my iphone with laptop with wifi and ad-hoc?

Hang on there - I was referring to Internet over USB, like the old Palms used to do. WiFi isn't an option in my case. For WiFi ad-hoc, I found this link after a quick google search:

Was that for his problem or yours? The ability to share your internet connection via WiFi is built right into OSX. Under the Sharing and Network preference tabs.

I haven't heard of a program that shares internet connections via USB, just Ethernet. Worth a look though.

the idea for a palm/windows mobile device dock station was to save battery life but connect to the internet through pc host while being charged. it'll help all those that dont have a wifi

Exactly. That's what I'm looking for, but I think there's no way to do it at the moment.

Any update on this?

I'd love to be able to share my MBP's wifi internet connection to my iPhone via USB since my iPhone's wifi antenna is damaged and can only get a wifi signal within 5 feet of a wifi router.

Mac OS X also won't let you share a wifi internet connection through an ad hoc wifi connection using the same airport. If there is a way to do that, that would also be another solution.

Thanks!
