My Bluetooth adapters just arrived, and I've successfully set up
Internet Connection Sharing via Bluetooth between two computers.
Since your second PC offers ICS via Bluetooth and the first one
doesn't, something must be wrong with the network settings on the
first one. If you've enabled ICS on the second computer, disable it.
Then, open the Network Connections folder on both computers and
compare the settings. Look especially for a network bridge or for
differences in firewall settings.
