Do you mean share an internet connection between two bluetooth paired PCs / Lappys?
If so then the answer is currently 'Dont know'!
There's another thread around here somewhere on a similar subject, the guy is trying to share internet access over bluetooth but as far as I know he hasn't succeeded yet.
I reckon it's possible but you'll probably need third party software, I don't think windows has got internet sharing over BT built in.

what you need to do, is now set up a wirless network, that should allow you to connect to the net over the network |

It is possible to share internet connection between two bluetooth enabled PCs. Though I've not tried it between PCs before, I 've done it successfully between my laptop and my Nokia N-Gage.
If it is the PC that have internet connection, then set up you laptop network to use the PC as the Gateway or entered the PC's IP address in the LAN connection seetings of your Internet Explorer. I believe it should work either of these ways.
To see how I browse internet using bluetooth on my cellphone, which will give you better idea on this, you may check out 'Internet On Bluetooth' on

That's the bit that we don't know yet, whether or not XP allows you to use a BT dongle as a wireless networking device. If anyone does try it, please let me know how it went! My money's on it not working without third party software.
