It's not that simple.
Lets say you don't use the ad-hoc network for internet, but just to fool the phone, (a waste of battery, you can create dummy network in a better way if you follow the wiki), You need a couple of things for it to work :
  • Default route to your computer USB Adapter IP address. Also know as gateway : for example 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.USB_IP
  • IP Address for name-server on your phone.
  • IP address for your phone's USB adapter in the same subnet as your computers adapter. for example : computer 192.168.1.1 phone : 192.168.1.2
  • The computer needs to be able to NAT your connections, meaning internet connection sharing should be configured to share your internet (network card to router) to the usb network adapter.
  • If the phone is on "Obtain Automatically / DHCP" your computer needs a dhcp server service running, usually starts along side ICS pre-configured.
  • Again. follow the WIKI!
