SCreencast - connecting phone as bluetooth modem to netbook

Screencast showing how to connect a paired bluetooth Nokia phone as a modem for a WindowsXP laptop or netbook (DUN Settings).
For bluetooth internet connectivity via your phone, first pair the phone & netbook via bluetooth (make the phone discoverable in BT prefs, and then scan for bluetooth devices on your netbook. Create and enter a PIN of your choosing on both the netbook & the smartphone).Once paired, there will be a 'DUN or Dial Up Netork icon in your BT preferences/places on the netbook. Double click this to open the connection dialogue. Keep the username and password blank, and enter *99# as the phone number to dial. This will cause your Nokia smartphone to connect via it's default internet connection & share this over Bluetooth with your netbook. VOILA!
