Could it be that your IP addresses are not within the same range ...... one IP reads "....0.1. the other "....1.x! .... try to limit it down to 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x to be in the same IP address range.

Check this guide. You don't have to configure the Bluetooth adapter on your desktop (client), unless you plan to use PAN and don't have DHCP.

If you're using LAP and have ICS configured it should be automatic...
