What driver are you using on your desktop? Is this the standard Windows XP SP2 Bluetooth driver or something else?

Check our Bluetooth Guides. If you are using Widcomm in both computers then you might use LAP. If you are using Widcomm only the "server" computer (the one connected to the Internet) then you must use PAN.
