I think that would allow the OP to connect the PC to the internet via a mobile phone. What they requested was to connect their mobile phone to the internet via a PC which is different.

I used to be able to do this on a Nokia E61 using something called "Nokia Network Bridge". I'm not sure if you can do this with a 5800 but I would seach for that as a starting point.

Hi,

Install Nokia PC Suite 7.1.26.0 from europe.nokia.com/pcsuite or install latest ovi suite 1.1.277 or you can install the OVI Suite from the DVD you have received along with your device. Connect your device with PC using PC Suite mode, open One Touch Access, in settings select your operator and start connecting internet using One touch access, you can connect using Bluetooth also. Make sure that your phone has got GPRS enabled 😊

That method allows him to connect his PC to the internet thruogh his phone's connectivity, doesn't it? Like I said to the other poster - that ain't what he asked for. He asked how to connect his phone to the internet through his PC's connectivity.

Is there no possibility of using the office wi-fi network? That would be a lot easier...
