Mobility Site - View Single Post - Internet connection sharing via Bluetooth

I have set up Bluetooth on my computer in order to transfer files and sync my axim wirelessly, and this works fine.
However, my network setup on this computer is somewhat complicated, and I can't figure out how to activate internet connection sharing for my Axim to use.

Here's how my network is setup:
- Network Card 1 : connected to the home network (100baseT). This network is connected to the internet via an ADSL Router
- Network Card 2 : this one is connected to a laptop on my desk, through a hub, to allow the laptop to access the other network (yes, there is a reason for not putting both computers simply on the same hub, i'll explain if you need me to :))
those two connections are bridged, using IP address 192.168.1.***

I read the Geekzone bluetooth guide, but I can't set Internet connection sharing for the Network bridge (it's simply not there...) nor for the other connections.
If i go in the bluetooth connection settings, it sets my IP address to 192.168.0.1, which prevents me from accessing my network and router :hide:

I'm running Windows XP pro
what could i have overlooked? must I get rid of the network bridge? thanks for your help :)
