Bluetooth help

---

Im trying to run my internet through my relatively new laptop. It is a DV6-7000. I have a Galaxy Nexus running CM 4.2.2 M2. My intention is to run the internet through Bluetooth but i seem to be failing. My laptop has Intel Centrino Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 + high speed.

I have already paired the devices. I can see my phone through laptop and the laptop through my phone. and its "connected". From that though, it just doesn't work. My laptop only gives me 3 options when i click on it and they are send files, play mp3, and sync pim data with phone book. When i click on my laptop through my phone under profiles it only lists "Media Audio" with a check mark. Both these devices support what i want.... so im a bit lost at what is going on. In my laptop i go to lower right, and right click the bluetooth symbol and hit join Personal Area Network, it then pops up the bluetooth devices list again and that itself does nothing different but show me the 3 choices from before. S then i abandoned CM built in tether al together and download a PAN bluetooth app. It wont even connect.

At this point im thinking its my PC because plenty of people seem to be able to have a bluetooth internet connection... which makes my situation really odd. Any help would be appreciated.

btw all drivers are up to date.

PDAnet+, there's a fee associated with it but it's the only way I know how to tether via Bluetooth successfully, and I believe it doesn't require root access on your device. You'll need an application on your phone, and another application (or piece of software if you will) on your laptop. I know PDAnet+ supports USB tether and if you can, I would suggest using that. Bluetooth tether eats at your battery, not as bad as Wifi tether though.

Free Option: There is an app named Wireless Tether for root users but it requires root access, and I don't know if it has support for the laptop. I was currently checking for a post for more info on a tablet, so if I find out more I'll be sure to PM you with more information.
