no need to.
all the app manager needs, is a working inet connection.

use either, as pointed out already, wifi oder connect the n900 via usb with your computer (connected to the inet of course).
the n900 will ask you whether to use the n900 in storage mode (like an usb stick) or pc suite mode. you want pc suite mode.

afterwards it's up to your windows computer to make sure forwarding works (firewall and stuff).
but how to forward an inet connection to another device in windows should be explained at a lot of places already (i know nothing about it since i never use windows)
