I've used Internet through my laptop with my P990 several times.
If you're using XP, it's pretty simple (I've made it in Vista also, but it's not that direct, I think...).
First, create the same ad-hoc in the laptop and in your phone (same SSID and security settings) and allow XP to connect to that network automatically. You don't have to detect the wireless network in your phone in order to create a profile for it, simply create it.
Then, configure XP to share Internet connection through wireless device:
Start the 'Network setup wizard', under 'Network connections'.
Select 'This computer connects directly to the Internet. Other computers in my network connect to the Internet through this computer'.
Then, select the connection that connects your computer to the Internet.
Finally select the connection(s) through which you want to share the Internet connection (for your mobile it'll be wireless network only, but you can select others).
Click next until you finish the wizard and, in the end, select the last option - 'simply finish the wizard' - or something like that.
If you search for networks in your monile, you'll find the one you've created and if you connect, hopefully, you'll have access to the Internet
Hope this helps
By the way, your wireless card in the laptop will have a static IP, for it'll be a DHCP server.
If you want to change your network configuration and (like me) connect the laptop to the Internet through wireless, just run the wizard again and select the second option in the beginning.
