doing it by usb is more complicated since usb networking is not easy to access on n900, and i haven't tried sharing a connection over usb on a pc before.

i'll think about posting it on the wiki. i need to make an account since i've never posted there before. but i prefer people visit my site haha
I share using Wifi connection thru my PC.

Here how to do:
1. Share Your ICS thru LAN
1.1 Open the “Ethernet” LAN properties and allow ICS
2. Open the Wifi Properties and do as below:
2.1 Under Association: (You can change the encryption key to something else)
2.1.1 Network_Name: MyHomeNetwork
2.1.2 Network Authentication: Open
2.1.3 Data Encryption: WEP
2.1.4 Network Key: a1b1c1d1e1
2.1.5 Confirm Network Key: a1b1c1d1e1
2.1.6 Key Index (advanced): 1
2.1.7 The key is provided for me automatically: Unchecked
2.1.8 This is a computer to computer (adhoc) network; wireless access points are not used: CHECKED

3. Then try to connect from your N900 to setup the SSID manually to use MyHomeNetwork + WEP Key
4. Try to connect to MyHomeNetwork
5. Go back to your XP, and try to make a connection to MyHomeNetwork
6. You should see the MyHomeNetwork will be "connected"
7. You should be able to surf the web using n900 now using the XP Internet connection.


Well no picture , but thats the guideline that I used to setup when I am in hotel.
