That's what I wrote - that he's "simply asking for the routing to occur in the opposite direction". |

My Android appears to allow networking over its USB connection in both directions - I attach two screenshots. |

The first attached screenshot is of the "Wireless and networks" menu, which is accessed directly from "Settings". |

As you can see there is a "Tethering & portable hotspot" submenu (second attached screenshot), but at the bottom there is also a tickbox "USB Internet - Sharing Windows PC internet via USB cable". |

If you look also at the second attached screenshot, "Tethering & portable hotspot", you will see that "USB tethering - USB connected, tick to tether" is a separate menu item. |

When I initially read your email and glanced at my phone, the "Sharing Windows PC internet via USB cable" item was greyed out. The words became solid when I plugged the USB cable in. I have not tested it further, but I have to assume that these two menu options perform reciprocal functions. |
