All,

I'm trying to share my ADSL internet connection from my desktop with me laptop.

Tried the manual which I found on this site but still it is not working.

My desktop: XP home edition
My Laptop: XP Pro edition (laptop from my work)

I have performed the following actions:
- Within the Network connections of my desktop, I selected my Planet ADSL connection and configured and checked internet sharing and selected Bluetooth Network. (The other network connections which are available are (1394 connection, LAN connection (not active), Lan-2 connection (WAN network driver - active) and LAN3 connection (WebRacer 851 - active - My DSL USB modem).
- Within the Bluetooth network (of my desktop) I have configured the following:
    - TCP-IP configuration:
       - IP address: 192.168.0.1
       - Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
       - Standard-Gateway: 192.168.0.1
       - Preferred DNS: 192.168.0.1
- Within the bluetooth network (of my laptop) I ave configured the following:
    - TCP-IP configuration:

       - IP address: 192.168.0.55

       - Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

       - Standard-Gateway: 192.168.0.1

       - Preferred DNS: 192.168.0.1

Within the Advanced configuration of the Bluetooth on my desktop:
    - Local Services - Network Access: Allow other devices to access the internet/LAN via this computer.

Then I start the Bluetooth Network Access from my Laptop, which is accepted by my desktop. I have now the Bluetooth network running on both machines.

If I then try to go to the internet via my laptop, I see that packages are send via the Bluetooth network of my laptop. If I look at the status of my bluetooth network of my desktop I can see that packages are received.
But that's it. I don't see any information going back to my laptop, nor I see usage of my ADSL connection to the internet.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Is it normal that when I look within my bluetooth network places that the Network access with my laptop is disabled?

Thx,
Dremeber
