"As far as getting online goes, the USB cord is only useful when your iPhone has internet and you want the PC to get online through it. "
That I know how do it.
I wanted the other way around.

Sounds like Internet Sharing is what you want (go to System Preferences > Sharing). These posts and videos shows you how to do this, although I've not actually tried it myself.

You did not understand it. It is not wireless and is not from IPhone to PC. I need from PC to IPhone and wired only.

That sound interesting, but complicated. I do not have all those cables. I have only the 1st one mentioned Apple Lightning to USB cable,

It seems I go fast into an unwanted direction with negative answer which makes me to give up too soon. I do not like that feeling.

Yes, it is my work PC, has no wirelesses. Home I have my WIfI router. But that is all right. It is only good to know that does not work.
The background of the problem is strange 100%.
I want to access the Microchip forum to ask some technical questions. I am allowed from my work PC to do that. That is not problem here. The problem is with Microchip forum. It is "broken" since some years now. Sometimes you cannot post a new thread, sometimes you cannot reply, sometimes you cannot edit a topic and nobody seems to care from Microchip's side, probably because is free. It is absolutely crazy and disturbing situation. And they had/have money because they bought Atmel. It is only the fact that is free and nobody cares. If it would have been used/accessed by some VIP from Microchip, then the situation would have been fixed since long time. They do not allocate resources to repair it once for ever. And all that only because they wanted to update it in a new form. As it was before was just fine.
The strange part is that I can post from a mobile device as iPhone, but I have no internet on IPhone for the moment.
Anyway, by chance I had my iPad today with me and has LTE SIM incorporated so I could post my questions on Microchip forum mobile version of the website. Then later I could even reply from desktop PC.
The answer to the present question here on EE is good that I know it for future.

Thank you for your help, explanation and suggestions.

You gave me ideas.
I tried iPadian, an iPad emulator for Windows. Seems that works that way.

There you go .. sometimes there is another way to approach the problem and get a solution!! If I'd known the problem was relating to viewing a website on iOS not working on Windows I'd have steered you towards Chrome or an emulator much sooner and the USB cable / WiFi would never have been a factor!!

I want a pure wired solution.
