Will an iPhone use my laptops internet connection?

To Whom It May Concern,

I have a laptop and it is connected to the internet, but I do not have WiFi available. Is it possible to have my iPhone access internet by connecting it to my laptop? If yes, please tell me how. Thank you for your help.

No it is not a mac. So it is not possible to have my iPhone use the internet connection my laptop is running on?

Possibly but as I said I'm not up to speed with Windows so I don't know how to get the networking options into the necessary state to accomplish what you need.
What if i hack the phone, can i find a third party app that will allow me to use my laptops Ethernet internet connection?

I have no idea. I suspect also that anything that involves hacking the phone would be removed from this Apple forum pretty sharpish.
