How to get phone internet by connecting a wire to PC/laptop?

I have a PC/laptop that has wired internet access. (no wireless)

Can I connect a cable from my Samsung S4 phone to the PC/laptop so I can access internet/data app services on my phone using the internet source from the PC/laptop? (i do not want to turn on mobile data)

Thanks

Don't think so... I think you will need to somehow go from your phone to your router.

The only way you can do that is to tether your phone to your PC/laptop. There's an app called PDAnet and that allows a tethered connection through your phone's USB cable (from what I can remember).

Keep in mind that when tethering you will be using your data allotment. If your provider is Verizon, then you'll need a "hotspot" plan as well, though I think PDAnet can bypass that "requirement".

FoxFi is another popular wireless tethering app as well.

dezymond, seems like the solution you provided is to use the phone data connection to provide internet for PC/laptop, which is not what I want.
My question is I want the PC/laptop that has wired internet connection, to provide internet for my phone.

Does it have to be wired? Can you use bluetooth or wifi to connect to the PCs internet?

You can setup an access point on the computer with ICS.

Or if you have wifi and a card that will allow it.

ICS method is not suitable, and there is no wire that will connect a hub to a phone.
No wifi card.

Oh I'm sorry, I did misread your post.

Yeah I don't believe there is a way to have that type of connection through a cable
