Well, i'm done. i can't actually do this through my IBM Thinkpad. BT PAN is not part of the stack. I actually un-installed the IBM BT driver package, so i could just use the core Windows XP device drivers for it.. which actually ended up working - inasmuch as it gave me the option for a PAN connection.. and i could actually CONNECT to it (at 1mbps) ! but it wouldn't tranfer any data.
and worst of all, doing it this way, it removed all other BT services from my laptop (Audio, handsfree, obex etc...).. so essentially i had a completely empty BT connection.

I tried downloading the Toshiba BT stack, which others have reported to be a good workaround but i couldn't get that installed either. there is some Thinkpad hack to enable it, that i just simply couldn't find.
so i went back to the original IBM Thinkpad BT installation, and am back to where I was.. oh well. at least i can use ICS via USB.

and since my BT radio is an internal compenent of the thinkpad, i can't install the official Broadcom stack either. (see attachment)

So i just wanted to thank you bedoig for at least pointing me in the right direction. i learned something along the way, and hopefully this will help someone else somehow, as well.
