I'm trying to connect to my phone's Bluetooth PAN but nothing happens when I do.
I'd greatly appreciate any help on this.. Thank you! Some facts: -->My other computer, which is the same exact computer, DOES show the wireless router in Network and Sharing Center -->If you search this problem on google you'll find one hundred threads on this same topic -- each with a different solution to the problem (frustrating!) -->My computer: Lenovo IdeaPad V460 (both computers, in fact) -->Connection: Wireless -->Router: DLink DIR-615 -->Approximate Distance From the router: 8 feet -->Type of Internet: Cable (RCN) Mini Tool Box Log Report: MiniToolBox by Farbar Version: 23-07-2012 Ran by Lenovo (administrator) on 07-09-2012 at 08:16:58 Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 (X64) Boot Mode: Normal *************************************************************************** IE Proxy Settings: Proxy is not enabled.

I click the button that says 'Connect Using' which gives me two options:
[Option 1] 'Direct Connection' [Option 2] 'Access Point'.
Both options result in a dialog that says 'Connection Successful' but my Bluetooth Network Connection adapter still shows it as 'Not connected'.
I have the latest drivers from the Bluetooth website and they are functioning well as you can see in this screenshot.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Create Bluetooth Personal Area Network1 Answer
Solution: Go to Services > Bluetooth Support Service > change 'Log on as': to 'This account'.
For USERNAME, write 'Local Service' (without the quotes). The password that you can't read shows some encrypted password that you can't (and don't need to) change.
Restart the processes, and the rest will now work! The Bluetooth icon with the Red Cross will disappear.

Popular Driver Updates for Bluetooth Personal Area Network
I have got 2 Raspberry Pis, running Raspbian, up-to-date. Each Pi has exactly one Bluetooth USB dongle. I can make them communicate via RFCOMM using this.
Now, I would like to establish a proper IP layer over the Bluetooth physical link. As far as I understand, I have to use PAN (Personal Area Network), that should create a network interface I could manage with ifconfig. I am trying to adapt this tutorial, but I am stuck at an invalid exchange error.
On RPi0, I run
On RPi1, I run
I cannot find any relevant information about this error code. Any idea how I could solve this ? Or am I mistaken and should I use something else instead of PAN ?
Thanks in advance !
EDIT:When specifying the Bluetooth device I want to listen on, I get another error message. It doesn't really make sense either, since I do not run any other Bluetooth server.

So things seem to have changed quite a lot recently and the Pi comes with Bluez 5.23 in 2016.
Having just spent two days, these steps have solved it for my pi but might help for any Debian Jessie install. I hope so. Tested on a new pi, running jessie with fresh install just now. This will give a bluetooth pan bridged to your eth0 network (and thus use your existing dhcp/dns server etc). This is my first post, so please forgive stupidity around the various conventions here. I hope this helps someone and saves you a little time.
This is prbably not an optimal solution (I'm no guru), and I'd love to hear about some improvements.
Install some things (python stuff will help with scritps):
sudo apt-get install bridge-utils bluez python-dbus python-gobject
Download two very cool python scripts, put them in /usr/local/bin and chmod both perhaps to 755 depending on who needs access to execute..blueagent5and bt-pan. Many thanks and homage to their respective authors. Gosh this kind of thing saves so much time and misery.
Now, we need a bridge. Add the following to the end of /etc/network/interfaces
I rebooted at about this time to make sure all was as it would be normally.
Log back in and we issue
If you don't want pin prompt, don't do this next step. To ensure we get a PIN prompt, issue this..
Start PAN using the special magic in the bt-pan script. It doesn't return, so add an ampersand at the end.
Start the bluetooth security agent with wonderful ease and confidence. Optionally set a pin (it defaults to 0000).
Okay, one last thing. Forward the network. This will only work if there is no fancy authentication at the router/dhcp, if there is, you may need to look further to solve this issue.
Once done, you may need to save these iptables settings and reinstate them each time the system boots.
Tiptoe over to your tablet or whatever you are trying to connect to the internet. Open Bluetooth in your settings. Pair with 4321 as your pin, and connect to the local network.
But you didn't need to tiptoe after all, it all seems quite robust to me. Enjoy!

After a lot of struggle, this is how I got it working. Let's hope it can help someone else. Long story short, edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf to include this line:
Restart the bluetooth service.
We don't talk anymore mp3 download. FYI, here is my command for the 'server' : How to gentleman melee.
And for the 'client':
Then you can just use ifconfig, ping, ssh.. usual stuff. You might want to take a look here, it was useful to me.

Your solution works almost flawlessly except for
it should be
Works great with rpi3 and bluez5.X
Only caveat it still uses somehow the wifi. I am trying to ssh to rpi3 via bluetooth while rpi3 is associated with a device that provide its own AP for a one-to-one connection and this cuts off the bluetooth communication. Works only if the rpi3 is associated to a wifi AP.

A bluez-tools package is available on raspbian with the same functionality as the aforementioned python scripts. original answer
Here's how you can setup a bluetooth pan on Raspbian.
This answer uses systemd/networkd but you could do something similar with an interfaces file and dnsmasq if you wanted.
Run:
sudo apt-get install bluez-tools
Create the following files:
/etc/systemd/network/pan0.netdev
/etc/systemd/network/pan0.network
/etc/systemd/system/bt-agent.service
/etc/systemd/system/bt-network.service
Then run
Finally to pair, run:
sudo bt-adapter --set Discoverable 1
Then, on the other device pair it and connect the network. Hopefully everything should just work after that.
