[Shravan]

I have read a lot about using an android phones gprs connection on a laptop(tethering). But I would like to do exactly the opposite and use my laptops present internet connection on my phone.

this is possible on windows 7 and vista (cant say about mac).

GO To-- Start-Control Panel- View network status and tasks (under Network and Internet category)
Then , Under 'View ur active networks' in 'connections' click on ur connection.
Then in the lower left hand corner press "properties"
click on the "sharing" tab. Now check the box "allow other network users to connect through this internet connection"
then under 'Home networking connections' select 'Wireless network connection' and press 'ok'
'Close'

Now under "change ur network settings" select "setup a new connection or network" and choose the
"setup a wireless adhoc (comp to comp) connection". click next (and again)
give a network name and change the security type to 'no authentication'.

AND YOU ARE DONE!!

Just search the network on your android phone--under "settings"--wireless and networks-- wifi settings.

YES,it's possible,u can simply launch a VPN from your laptop and identify your phone to the network manager.
I have a Dell and running linux on it,and I can do that easily either through WiFi connection or USB.
I think that with windows it can only be done through USB,because windows uses bridge connection better than VPN.
Anyway,just google "VPN" or "bridge network connection" to know how to setup the connection.
This way is 100% guaranteed,and i always use it better than the phone's WiFi.
