Here is a simple procedure for connecting your Nokia N82 (or other nokia handset with wifi) to internet using PC wifi.
I shared Tata Indicom Broadband Connection (through cable) on my PC to my Nokia N82 handset using wifi.
The procedure is simple and will just take a few minutes.
The procedure is for Vista and with appropriate modifications, it can be used with Windows XP as well.
Procedure:
1. Right click your Network icon in the system tray - Network and Sharing Center;
2. Go to your internet connection icon (in this case Tata) - View status - Properties - Sharing - select Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection and clear the Allow other users to control.... option;
3. Now go to Network and Sharing Center - Setup a connection or network - Setup a wireless adhoc (computer to computer) network ;
4. You can give your adhoc network a suitable name and select the appropriate security settings in the next steps (for trial purpose I would suggest to do without the WEP / WPA security);
5. Just turn on the wifi on your Nokia N82 handset, connect to the adhoc network and start browsing from your handset...

Setup Adhoc WiFi Connection in Windows Vista
Vista allows you to create temporary networks for connecting wireless devices. No wireless access point required! This comes in handy when you need to transfer files to someone else's laptop in class or at a meeting. To create an Ad Hoc network, follow these steps:
1. Click the Start Button and select Control Panel.
2. Select Network and Internet. (If Control Panel is in Classic View, skip this step)
3. Open Network and Sharing Center.
4. Select Set up a connection or network (in the left pane).
5. In the resulting window, select Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network.
6. Click Next and again on the following page.
7. In the Network name textbox, input a name for the network.
8. Select a security type from the dropdown. (If you select WEP, you will need to enter a security key in the unghosted textbox)
9. If you want to use this network more than once, check the Save this network checkbox, if you only need it for a one time fix, leave the checkbox unchecked.
10. Click Next.
11. Click Close.
Your network is now created and can be accessed by other computers in the same manner as connecting to a regular wireless connection. If you utilized WEP, then you will need to give them the security key. If you did not opt to save the network during creation, it will be deleted when everyone has disconnected from it.

Net Transport is a fast and powerful download tool. You may use it to download files from Internet servers. It now supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, MMS (Microsoft Media Services), and RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) - five protocols used to transfer data.

This is especially effective for MMS streams because they use a fixed transmission speed and loading several streams of the same file fully uses your Internet bandwidth.
