How to set up reverse tethering over USB?

If I have a workspace with no WiFi, but I do have an internet enabled computer (through an RJ45 cable), is it possible to get an android device bridged to the computer's internet using a micro-usb cable? It looks like ADB has some point to point features, but all I could find is how to share individual sockets and not the full shabang. Although, I can't say I fully understand the adb ppp command I found on SO:

adb ppp "shell:pppd nodetach noauth noipdefault /dev/tty" nodetach noauth noipdefault notty localip:remoteip

There might even be some voodoo with adb forward?

Have you looked at How to set up reverse tethering over USB? (or the other questions in the reverse-tether tag, for that matter) – eldarerathis Feb 02 '13 at 19:44
I added the reverse-tether tag. Just follow the link edaderathis was giving, and also click the tag to see more related questions and answers. – Izzy Feb 02 '13 at 22:24
I assume it depends on the computer. I think a Mac will share its connection over Bluetooth. – offby1 Feb 03 '13 at 03:26
