How to connect GPRS connection on android to pc

To Enable Tethering on your Android phone:
1. Install the TetherBot application on your phone -
2. Install the Android SDK on your PC. Also install the device driver bundled with the SDK.
3. Now go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development and enable USB Debugging on your phone.
4. Connect the phone to your PC; start the TetherBot application and press the Start Socks button.
5. On your PC, go to Command Prompt (Run > CMD) and navigate to the androidsdktools directory.
6. Type this command and execute it
adb forward tcp:1080 tcp:1080
This starts a SOCKS proxy on Port 1080 using which you can connect to the internet.
You can now use this proxy to access the internet using any browser which allows you to set up a SOCKS proxy like Opera or Firefox.
For example, in Firefox, go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Connection > Settings > Manual Proxy Configuration >
Type: SOCKS
Host: localhost
Port: 1080
