I am curious as to know if there is a way to use the LAN internet of a PC on N900 through only Data Cable. I don't have any bluetooth and wifi connection. And internet on mobile is only available as GPRS and EDGE with very low speeds in my country.

It would be a great help for me since to install applications, we need to use the internet on mobile only.

Its very difficult to really extract what I need from this thread. It would be so helpful if you can highlight me the areas for which I should be concerned about in order to do this task.

it shouldn't be that much to read once you stop looking at the parts for different operating systems and concentrate on whichever one you are using...

I got a problem on the very first step...
when I enter
/etc/network/interfaces
it says permission denied

I have no network running

If it is a file... then where can I locate it in filebox
How can I run this command in x-terminal

I have already installed rootsh and I have run both commands
sudo gainroot and root, but the result is same.

Copy/paste your xterm window here.

(if you are attempting to edit /etc/network/interfaces and it gives you the message "permission denied" then you aren't root!)

Ok.
First I will enter "root" command in xterm. Then I will simply write command "/etc/network/interfaces", and it gives the following information in xterm;

-sh: /etc/network/interfaces: Permission denied

Then I will enter "sudo gainroot" command in xterm. Then I will simply write command "/etc/network/interfaces", and it gives the following information in xterm;

/bin/sh: /etc/network/interfaces: Permission denied

I am quoting the instruction as was written in http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_networking . Please, tell me where I am making the mistake.

N900 USB network configuration

If you are going to use windows as your host, the configuration needed on your N900 are a little different, so skip directly to the "Starting USB network mode with Windows" Part.

There is a default USB network interface configuration on Nokia N900. In the file /etc/network/interfaces, you should see a section which looks like this:

auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.2.15
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.14
