Bluetooth Tethering - Share Internet Connection

I am running Leopard Mac OSX 10.5.1 with Parallels Desktop 3.0 Build 5582 and Windows XP. I occasionally tether my AT&T MOTO Q 9h via Bluetooth on the Mac side using a 3G modem script.

I have tried to share the connection with Windows XP. I have tried both Shared Networking and Host-only Networking but have had no luck.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Anyone tethering their phones on the Mac side and successfully sharing with the Guest OS?

Perhaps, I need to Bluetooth tether the phone on the Guest OS side?

Any help would be much appreciated!
 
Is there an answer?

Did anyone ever answer this question? I connect to the internet via Bluetooth using my Sprint Blackberry 8830 Worldphone. The connection works fine in Mac OS X 10.5, but when I start Parallels (with shared networking enabled), Windows says it has limited or no connectivity, and I can't connect via IP or HTTP.
 
I have the same issue. I can connect to the internet just fine on the Mac side to my mobile phone using Bluetooth DUN. However, even when I select "shared networking" on parallels using WinXP, I cannot get to that internet connection.
