Hello and welcome to Android Forums! 
I'm not exactly sure which way you mean. Are you looking to connect your phone to your PC to browse the files on your phone? Or are you asking how do you connect the phone to the PC so you can use the phone's data plan to browse the internet on the PC?
The first way is to plug the phone into your PC using the USB cable and enable storage mode. The second is to enable tethering. Since each phone may have different menu options to achieve either option, it would be difficult to give you specific instructions. If you can find the forum for your specific device in the list on the home page, the members in those forums will be able to help you out.

Just be careful if you have a limited data plan because this will suck it up n
