Go to Settings
click Wireless & Networks
Select Tethering & Portable hotspot
Select either USB tethering (to connect via USB cable) or
Portable Wi-Fi hotspot(to connect wirelessly

The portable wi-fi hotspot feature instantly turns your Ideos into a wi-fi hotspot such that you can connect upto 20 computers to the internet wirelessly. Make sure you secure your network otherwise your neighbours may nyemelea your wi-fi. BTW this portable wi-fi hotspot feature is only found in only a few advanced smartphones such as iphone 4, Samsung galaxy II and Ideos.

Is your phone being detected as usb device in the device manager? you might want to update/install usb driver for your phone on your computer.
