Hey guys,
The following problem has been bothering me for over 2 days now.
There are lots of topics on this forum that deal with a similar problem but they can't exactly help me find a solution.
I have a problem with sharing an internet connection over bluetooth between a Vista Notebook and an XP Desktop PC.
I'm trying to achieve the following:
Notebook -> *bluetooth* -> Desktop PC -> *lan cable* -> Router -> Internet
I will use screenshots to illustrate the problem as good as possible:
The following screenshots display the settings and configuration on both pc's:
XP settings:

As you can see, other devices are allowed to connect to the internet through this computer.

Also, the LAN connection has been shared for 'the bluetooth connection'.

These are the IP's used by XP (the bluetooth connection, and the LAN connection)

These are the IP's used by Vista (bluetooth connection), no LAN connection of course, cos it has to establish that one
through the desktop pc.

And this is what is actually 'wrong'. As you can see, a Personal Network has already been created, but there is no internet connection.
In case anyone needs more information about anything, just tell me.
I hope to hear from anyone.
EDIT:
I just discovered something fairly odd. I am not able to surf on the internet using a browser, but I can game online.
So there is a connection.. but there is something wrong with something else (you people obviously know what).
