Enabling "network" is enough to get your PC connect over BT to N900 using PAN (and well, bluetooth manager on my Linux box reports success). But to use that connection, it is not enough. N900 should set up PAN network interface, and enable dhcp over that, as well as IP forwarding. In that case, network connection will be shared over PAN and (potentially) it will be possible for several devices to "tether" that way, using N900 as BT gateway. Practically, it is not apparent to establish, and BT bandwidth is limited anyway, so for similar usage profile WIFI hotspot mode serves better; and BT DUN (using package available for Fremantle) in usual tethering case. hth -Vitaly > Let's make the page better, if it has incorrect information on it.
