Can I connect my wii to the internet through my computer?

I am trying to connect my wii to the internet in my dorm so that I can use netflix instant watch. I have gotten the impression that it will not work because once you connect to the wireless in my dorm, you have to enter a username and password to use the internet and wii doesnt allow you to do that-- so the couple different usb/lan adapters I bought are useless. Is there any way I can connect to the internet on my computer and then connect the wii to the internet that way? I see there are PC to wii cables and adapters but they look like they are for playing wii on the computer rather than giving the wii internet access.

Please help. :(

Update:

It DOES have password protection on it, that is the problem.

    if the wireless connection at your dorm has no password protection on it (which it shouldn't) then you can get a free wifi access from it to your wii just like if you were connecting to a linksys network without a password lock. give it a try.
