    Clearly you dont understand the question and propose to understand another stuff, the guy is looking for a reverse tethering connection, not tethering...

    You're far more likely to get help if you, a) start your own thread rather than join a thread that's been dormant for almost three years and b) are polite to the people who are trying to help.

     

    Best of luck.

    Unless you can set up an ad-hoc wi-fi network with the computer, there is no way for you to do this. You cannot share the internet from the computer to the iPhone via USB. The iPhone gets its internet connection either via cellular or via wi-fi. Depending on your cellular carrier, you may be able to get a microcell device to extend the cellular signal by connecting that to the computer. That is dependent on the cellular carrier and the IT rules of your work as to whether you could connect such a device. Otherwise, there is no way to accomplish what you are asking via USB.

    Not really, from my point of view Im discarting a fail response and solution.

     

    The best solution is share Wifi Hotspot from your PC to your mobile.

     

    By the way, the problem is still a problem/question at this moment, if not, there will not be people like me searching for any solution.

     

    Same, GL.
