I have spent last few days running thru The Geekzone Bluetooth Guides, even the "Things to check if Internet Connection Sharing or ActiveSync via Bluetooth is not working" and related thread on this forum but cant seems to find the solution to my problem.

Both my laptop and desktop is running Win2000 Pro SP4. The bluetooth on my desktop is Billionton USB(CF)BT02-B and on my laptop is MSI USB. I have paired both of the device and have tested files transfer working successfully.

I wish to share my current ADSL connection with my laptop. My ADSL is connected via a cable modem to my desktop LAN Card.

When network access between my desktop and laptop is established, My Network Places of my desktop is showing 3 active connections - Bluetooth Network, Local Area Connection and WinPoet V6.01 Connection. Firewall is shutdown. When network access is established, the icon of network access with my desktop is showing green and the bluetooth icon at system tray tray turned green as well indicated network has been established.

Desktop - Local Area Connection
ip address: 192.168.0.1
subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Internet Connection Sharing

Question :

1. Is it normal to show 3 active connections?

2. I have set share internet connection on Local Area Network, is this right?

3. Do I need to set Internet Connection Sharing with my ADSL connection - WinPoet v6.01? I do see the same option to share internet connection with this connection.

At my laptop, only Bluetooth Network is active. Local Area Connection is configured for my USB wireless LAN CARD. Firewall is shutdown. When network access is established, the icon of network access with my desktop is showing green and the bluetooth icon at system tray tray turned green as well indicated network has been established.

Laptop ip configuration
ip address: 192.168.0.1
subnet mask : 255.255.255.0

Question :

1. Do I need to configure another Local Area Connection as in my desktop?

2. I have also set my IE to connect via LAN setting but it still could not connect to internet.

I have checked thru all the points listed on the guides several times and everything seems set perfectly accordingly but the internet connection is just not sharing.

If I have successfully configure my laptop, I will move on next to share internet connection with another of my pc and also connecting via Bluetooth GPRS modem. I have got all the gadget in place but looks really sad for not being able to use them. Hopefully some expert could shed some light to help me. Thanks a million in advance.
