How to set up reverse tethering over USB?

Note I'm not talking about getting my PC network access through my Android device, I'm talking the opposite.

I sit in a dead spot at work and I'd like for my Android phone to be able to access a network over its USB connection with my PC. Does such a thing exist?

This can be done on Linux: http://blog.mycila.com/2010/06/reverse-usb-tethering-with-android-22.html

You can also use Windows to create a WiFi network (using Connectify) and connect your device to that: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/nexus-one-faq-how-tos/3133-reverse-tether-getting-internet-your-phone.html

I've found a good tool for reverse tethering on xda-developers forum. It's called Android Reverse Tethering. It works with Windows and requires a rooted phone.
It works fine on my HTC Desire HD running MIUI v4.

What tool is it? What about it makes you think that it would be a good solution for the OP? – Al Everett Jul 13 '12 at 12:23
!!! This will give access for connected android to reach to Intenet! I can not understand what do you expect! – Ebrahim Byagowi Jul 13 '12 at 14:34
I was hoping for more information. What you've provided is just a link to some external source. No name of the tool. No information about why it's a good solution. Nothing. This is not a good answer. It's barely an answer at all. – Al Everett Jul 13 '12 at 15:56
Okay :) Is it alright now? :) I didn't know about answers rules. But I must say, while my English skill is not good, I like to avoid writing more :) – Ebrahim Byagowi Jul 13 '12 at 19:10

And how exactly are you planning to improve your English if you avoid using it? – Richard Borcsik Jul 13 '12 at 19:20
