Hi,

I have a Nexus One, but I don't have a wireless router in my college
accommodation and I'm not allowed to install one. I was wondering if
anyone knew a way to connect my phone to my computer's internet
connection via bluetooth. I know you can do the opposite, i.e. allow
my computer to use my phone's internet connection, but I think I'm the
only person in the world who wants to do it the other way round. It's
impossible to find anything by searching, as everything I find is for
connecting my computer to my phone. I know network-manager can handle
bluetooth networks, but I can't find a way to set one up that my phone
can connect to.

Thanks,
Tom
