This tutor will explain how to connect net on PC using your Mobile via USB.

Req:-
Mobile: Any latest mobile will do (im using Nokia N70)
Appz: Nokia PC Suite new one.
Service Provider : You need to activate Airtel Live on your mobile.

Note: Havnt tested on other networks

Modem Driver

Installing the Nokia PC Suite also installs the modem drivers (I used Nokia PC Suite 6.80.20). After PC Suite installation, connect the handset to the USB port on your computer with the DKU-2 cable and Windows XP should automatically detect and install the modem.

Dial Up Connection
Go to Control Panel > Network Connection and create a new connection.
Connect to the Internet > Set up my connection manually > Connect using a dial up modem > Nokia xxxx USB modem >
ISP Name - Any convenient name, Airtel Dialup for example.
Phone Number - *99#
User name and Password - Leave blank.

Init String
Go to Control Panel > Phone and Modem Options > Modems > Nokia xxxx USB Modem > Properties > Advanced. In "extra initialization commmands" enter

AT+CGDCONT=,"IP","airtelfun.com" <cr>

Proxy Server

IE settingsAs detailed before go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > select Airtel Dialup > Settings > check "Use a proxy server for this connection". Enter address 100.1.200.99 and port 8080.

Firefox Settings
Tools -> Options -> General -> Connection Settings -> Manual Proxy Settings -> Enter Http proxy as 100.1.200.99 and port 8080.

Usage
Don't try to connect to the internet on your mobile phone yet. Connect using the Airtel Dialup connection on your PC. Now open Menu > Web on the mobile phone and open Rip Airtel Live made earlier. It won't open. Go back to your PC and browse the internet!

open Rip Airtel Live
What do you mean by that ? Also I got connected many time prior to seeing your post, apart of airtelive they say, no server access ?
Do your trick can bypass that ?

don't leak this thing out.
Airtel is thinking of stopping Airtel Live and introducing a service like planet hutch. Check out planet hutch at hutch.co.in ( u have to pay rentals and for your downloads and for surfing also)

Try switching off ur cell, remove ur battery and sim and try again. This shud help.

Also I dont know if Nokia PC Suite will support SE W550i

The extra initialisation commands r not a must for Airtel. Try with and without the commands.

Make sure u can access ur cell using the USB cable...

As the thread is still not banned/removed/blocked/commented upon by the mods, I gues it is safe to "elaborate" more on this loophole...
