Is there a way in which I can use the PC's interenet connection on my iphone?
At work we don't have wi-fi is the problem.

If you do get this working, and use works connection. You need to remember two things, their internet policy will most likely fall through to your phone and block you the same way your normal browser would and secondly they will see everything you do, do you really want them knowing your sat on FB all day?

Yup - WiFi dongle on PC, then use 'Connection Sharing' within Windows and setup a wireless hotspot.
Obviously note that IT might have something to say about it especially adding 'unknown' hardware to work systems and using their internet connection for purposes other than work - guess it depends on where you work.

Yeah this is true, with the same contnent being blocked!
Work don't mind me using it, as I have asked them and they said that fine to use it but they won't upgrade the hardware due to cost.
