What you trying to do ?

You want to make your device a modem to connect internet or need to pair device with computer Bluetooth ?

Try right clicking the phone under bluetooth personal network area devices and select the option Connect with -> Connection point (or similar). Windows 7 should have the drivers needed for PAN if you're using the standard bluetooth in Windows.

Open Device Manager in Computer and check the status for your device...

If you make a wifi connection from your laptop I am not sure you will be able to connect from your phone.Use connectify and see.
