Do you have a wifi access point / router ?
If not, you should get one as that is the best way to connect,
independent of whatever the operating system is on the PC. Set up a wpa
encrypted wifi network and create your ssid and passphrase
Otherwise you need to follow the instructions for setting up an ad hoc
connection on your pc and share your internet connection through it. Set
your ad hoc ssid and passphrase there when you make the new connection.
Here is one of the howtos

Then go to settings/wifi on your phone, it should list the ssid you set
up, tap it and enter the passphrase.
If there is a previous connection in there, delete it to allow the new
ssid / passphrase to be entered.
