Tethering your Android smartphone with your computer enables the device to
share its cellular data connection, so your computer can access the Internet even
when a wireless connection is unavailable. Android 4.x offers three ways to create
this connection. Connecting your computer to your Android phone using a USB
cable directly shares the Internet. Bluetooth-enabled computers can also pair with
the phone to share data. The Android device also offers a portable hotspot feature
that creates a Wi-Fi hotspot to which up to eight computers can connect.

Connect the USB cable's smaller end to your Android phone and the other end to
your computer.
Step 2
Press the "Home" button and then the "Menu" button.
Step 3
Tap "Settings," "More" from the Wireless & Networks section and then "Tethering
& Portable Hotspot."
Step 4

Hi Sneha,
I will guide you step by step and am sure after that you will be able to
use internet via USB cable.
Step 1. Connect your USB cable to PC or Lappy as well as your
Android one.
Step 2. Go to settings>>Wireless and Networks>>Mobile
Networks>>Enable or check Mobile data. This is the main important
step you need to enable mobile data first of all.
Step 3. Go to Tethering and portable hotspot>>USB tethering option
will be there click on it.
After that, you can see your android packets will be sent to your
Laptop or PC, and then check whether you are able to browse any
pages or not.
But, eve-though after performing those steps if your still unable to
access then I tell you the last most important step.
Step 4. Right click on My computers>>Manage>>Device Manager
then check whether any device driver is missing of you mobile model
and it will give you YELLOW signal as an error. Then right click on it

and click on update drivers options if your having net then click on
search automatically or online, then immediately after the device
drivers installed am pretty much sure that you will be able to access
internet from your mobile to PC or Laptop via USB or Wifi.
Regards,
Sameer Khan
