If you're not using any 3rd-party app, how do you get your laptop to use the Internet Sharing/Cell phone as its internet connection?

Despite the fact that I have a Macbook, I've never actually used it with that. I only use it with my work laptop which is a PC. I know it can be done on a Mac, but you'll need to to a little googling to find out how.
For windows, here's how I do it: First disable activesync on my PC by unchecking the "allow USB connections". Second, launch Internet Sharing on the device and click connect. Third, connect the device to the laptop via USB cable. At this point Windows should recognize the device as an external modem and you'll be good to go.
