    Question Hijacking BB Internet

    I have a BlackBerry that connects to my PC with a USB cable. I don't have the Internet on my PC right now and was wondering if its possible to use the BlackBerry's Internet on my PC. My BlackBerry has a broadband connection but it has a small screen and its usually hard to view websites with it. I figure there must be some way to setup my PC to think the BlackBerry is a PC on a home network and share its Internet connection as long as my BlackBerry is plugged into my PC with the USB cable.

    I'm using Vista. Is this possible?
    Thanks,

    Usualy requires INTERNET CONNECTION SHARING on the the device that gets it. Not sure about BB, but if you would have gotten a Windows Mobile device, then you could have checked a box to make it work.
