Nope. The USB connection is only for firmware updates. It can't be connected with your computer to run that way. It must be directly plugged into the router via the ethernet port.
What internet service do you have? If the getwork is causing issues, then maybe finding a pool with a higher difficulty setting would be helpful. What pool are you using?
