I have a Raspberry Pi that can't have physical access to the router, but I have a PC that does.
I would like to share internet connection from the PC to the Raspberry via the USB cable*, not via the ethernet cable, so that it receives both power and internet connection from the PC it is connected to.
Is it possible?
If yes, is there a way to make this connection look like a bridged connection, like virtualbox/vmware do? I would like to have a different IP address for the RPi.
Thanks!

In Linux, support for Ethernet over USB is in-bult: there are the drivers cdc_ether and rndis. To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing in Windows. However, you can buy an Ethernet over USB adapter, for something around 10 euros, and plug an ethernet able from that to the Windows pc. This way, Windows will see a connection over Ethernet, and Raspbian (which is a Linux distro, basically Debian for arm architectures) already has the proper driver for Ethernet over USB.
