i think............

you need to set up a connection link via a spare serial port

i used com9 or summit to connect my nokia to my comp. not exactly the same i know but may be of some use,

try searching the net for pairing phones to bluetooth and you may come up with the solution... or someone cleverer than me will tell you how to do it

or install active sync on them as let the one with the connection be the host, it will try to synchronise yourcontacts and calender etc, but hey - so what.

it uses a virtual serial connection, COM9 i think.

Ok, so what you are trying to do, is create a network using 2 bluetooth dongles ? So, the PC has an internet connection already on it ? And you want to use the laptop to connect to the pc, and access the net ?
