Just use your Android device's internet connection. You don't need to plug it into anything.

You need a WAP (Wireless Access Point) which will accept the cable as input and rebroadcast the connection as wireless. Something like this: http://www.zyxel.com/us/en/products_services/mwr102.shtml?t=p

You would want a wireless router, or a wireless access point, and connect the phone to the wireless to use your home/office based internet connection. That's the proper and easiest way to do it and the way the entire rest of the world does it.

Sorry. I don't understand your setup. I'll leave this to the networking experts.

Your suggestion is not wrong, they could just just use their data plan for access on the cell phone, but cellular data plans have limited download caps and depending on the service it may be slow or at least slower than a good DSL connection. What the poster seems to want to do is tap into the DSL service and use that on their cell phone. That's easily doable as most people connect their mobile devices to wireless internet, the poster just needs to replace their router with a wireless model or add a wireless access point to allow that to happen. Possibly his office already has wireless capability and they are unaware or it's turn off and just needs to be turned on.

I agree, Rob. I would think if the OP's company wants them to use their cell phone on their network, they'd provide wireless network information. I misunderstood the request.
