^ Only if both the devices support Ad-Hoc mode which is highly unlikely in your case (I maybe wrong though).

Else, you'll need to invest in a WiFi router :)

Using wi-fi

If you have a router, thats the easiest way to get iot done, else setup a ad-hoc wireless network from your laptop's wirless NIC and see if your phone can see it

There are a bunch of threads in the networking section where I and some other folks have listed out step-by-step directions on setting a ad-hoc network between 2 laptops or a laptop/desktop
 
the phone n95 n the laptop r connected...in the ad hoc mode... but still i am unable to share net connection...

when i browse on the phone it says no gateway reply...
