As the thread name states, how to do that?
I have SE PC suite installed and phone connected successfully.

My network charges 1€ for about 130KB of traffic (yeah, its insane) so I want to connect my phone to the Internet via computer.
With Bluetooth if possible. Otherwise with USB.

I found some useful info about this trough USB here. At some point it says to go to Setting -> Connectivity -> Network sharing. Im using a C901 and there isn't that menu. Can this be done some other way?

I have a G705 and it doesn't have that menu as well but I'm able to use internet via USB network. The most important is that you enable 'Allow local conn' on your phone and then configure your computer using the 'Network Setup Wizard'.

If you have a firewall, you must allow that network to access Internet.

Thank you for advices

I think I did everything properly but still I get 'Communication failure. Try again or contact your operator for support.'

I think the phone really tries to connect using the computer because there inst that quick screen saying something like 'Connecting using mobile network' when I try to use default browser. Opera Mini is also the same, tries to use the internet but is unable to. Ive ran the network wizard for small home network, done everything properly. I enabled both networks to connect to the internet trough firewall also.

I there anything else I could troubleshoot?

There's this app called Hiisi, just google it on how to set it up. And you'll going to need a bluetooth dongle.

It will try to connect using your cell network if it hasn't been configured properly. Or sometimes, you will just have to disconnect the cable, wait about 15 sec, and plug it back and then it will use USB. In rare cases you need to restart the phone.

Well glad BT works for you.
