Connect Phone to Internet through Laptop?

[JoeHPSDA]

My Windows 7 laptop is connected to the internet.

Is it possible to connect my phone to the internet through the laptop's connection?

I want to download an app for the phone but it doesn't have its own internet connection right now.

Its a budget Samsung Galaxy Y if that helps.

Thanks

Thanks, I went with http://www.mypublicwifi.com/ in the end as its fully free.

Do you know of one which lets you share the connection via the phone's USB cable too?

Thanks.
