Buy a USB Wi-fi adapter similar to http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DWA-125-150Mbps-Wireless-Adapter/dp/B002KEA8OM If your Android phone's software is 2.2 (Froyo) or above it will support tethering or Wifi hotspot. Turn it on, and then you can connect to the hotspot using Wifi.

What you need is something called reverse tethering. See this to download the exact tool - http://www.skipser.com/p/2/p/share-pc-internet-with-android-via-usb.html This tool was created by a senior XDA developer "http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?s=d69b119605ed173aba4e77875bfe8669&u=3083768" and is the simplest available. Connecting is just opening the tool and clicking connect button.

Assuming you mean that your pc has the internet and you want be able to use the internet on your android device, the only way is through wifi. If you have a laptop that has wifi you can use it as a virtual router by using this http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/, and then share the connection with your android device. There is no other way in my knowledge as such.

If your PC has a wifi then create an Ad-Hoc wireless connection in your PC(so that your android phone can connect over wifi to your pc) and share your internet connection. or get a wifi router.
