how to connect linux to win 7 that tether from my Android?

not sure if it's an Android question but ...

I connect my win7 to the Inet via USB tethering. I wonder if and how I can connect my linux box to the net. It can be done only via ethernet.

	This sounds like a Linux/Windows question rather than an Android one, to be honest. The USB tethering should just be like any other network adapter to the Windows box, I'd imagine. I will say, though, that you'll need a crossover cable (or adapter) to go the ethernet route. – eldarerathis May 31 '11 at 23:32
	You're trying to connect your phone and computer via USB, and use the phone's data connection to get internet on the computer? (What does this have to do with ethernet? I don't know of any Android device with an ethernet port.) – Matthew Read May 31 '11 at 23:50
	@Matthew: I think (emphasis on "think" here) that he wants to tether internet to a Win7 machine, then share the internet from the Win7 machine to the Linux machine via an ethernet cable. That's how I read the title, anyhow. – eldarerathis May 31 '11 at 23:53
	@eldarerathis is right.... I said I wasn't sure if it was an Android question.... – Radek Jun 1 '11 at 0:14
