I am new at raspberry and i have to do my project.
I am using my pi terminal through my laptop using cat5 cable.
everything is fine. I can ping the laptop on ssh.
Now I would use the internet on the pi.
How do I do that?

1it's very unclear, where your laptop gets the internet connection from, what OS do you have installed on the laptop and so on. i'd suggest you connect your Pi to your router using cable or wireless USB dongle, this way it gets internet connection no matter if your laptop is around or not.– lenikCommented Jan 25, 2014 at 6:52

Thank you for your respond. my laptop use ubuntu 13.10 and the internet from wireless. I can't use the router because my goal is building a human sensor to finish my project. so i will have to use sharing connection– fahadCommented Jan 26, 2014 at 15:23

under linux if you're using internet via wifi use the IP forwarding to forward packets from ethernet to WIFI and then internet.
on your PI if you're using Raspbian
edit /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
gateway is the IP of your PC (cat5 network)
set dns server /etc/resolv.conf
if there are no internet, change the 8.8.8.8 to a dns server (search online dns server IP) ex: nameserver 82.216.111.121
on your PC set IP forwarding (edit iptable)
create a script ip_forwarding.sh
iptables=/sbin/iptables
iptables --flush -t nat
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth0 -j ACCEPT
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
make this script executable chmod +x ip_forwarding.sh and run the script ./ip_forwarding.sh
If you are using a Windows laptop you can use Connectify. I've done it myself and it works fine.
After you start Connectify you will see Raspberry Pi as a connected device. Then you can select which connection to share etc..
However Connectify is not a free software.
