you can create an ad hoc network over wifi and share internet connection to wireless network. if you are using windows 7 you have to disable ipv6 from network settings.

My laptop is connected over the Ethernet and has connectivity, is there any way I can share this connection via Bluetooth so that I can access the internet on my phone?
Bluetooth DUN works the other way, the phones internet connection is used by the PC
Is there any way to do this guys?
Thanks.

This Article is a step by step procedure on how to connect internet from the laptop (connected through broadband) to N900 via laptop Wi-Fi.

If using Windows 7, you can try Connectify (google it).

This thread has discussion of the same issue.
(For Fedora, see this.)

Is this normal?
