Using Touch at Wireless Modem via Bluetooth

[G-touch]

I am trying to use my HTC Touch as a "wireless modem" and having trouble having my laptop recognize Dial Up Networking as one of the Bluetooth services available on the HTC Touch. (I didn't have this problem with the 6700.)

The devises are paired, but the only services showing on the laptop for the HTC Touch are "Network Access Point", "OBEX Object Push" and "Voice Gateway", but not "Dial Up Networking".

On the phone, when I look at the "Partnership Settings" for the laptop, it allows me to check any of the following services: "Serial Port", "Dialup Networking", or "Headset". I have only checked "Dialup Networking" and yet the laptop does not see the Touch for Dialup Networking.

Any help out there!!!! Or is there a different way to use the Touch as a Wireless Modem????

Thanks!!

Use PAN, personal area network for bluetooth tethering. Turn internet sharing on on your phone, and then from the computer click join PAN.

OK, but where do I find "join PAN" on the laptop?!

Thanks!

I'm interested in this also. How fast is Bluetooth tethering vs USB tethering? Will phone calls come in still? I realize it's not possible to be on a phone call and a data call, but will you at least be alerted that there is a call?

See the attached screenshot, right click on the bluetooth icon on my laptop... A call will come through and your connection will still work, just a bit slower...
