Tether Mac to Mac??

[Z400Racer37]

Hey guys,

I've read many posts about how to tether a blackberry through bluetooth to your mac to get internet, but is there a way to tether a mac to a mac through bluetooth to share internet? I've tried to do this through sharing in system preferences, but I did not see an option for that (i.e. share from bluetooth dun to computers using airport). is there a way to do this? in short i just need to share my wifi connection with someone else using the bluetooth sharing. i am running 10.6.6

Thanks in advance everyone

Looking at System Preferences > Sharing >> Internet Sharing it seems only possible to share a Bluetooth connection via AirPort, but not vice versa. But you can share an Ethernet connection via AirPort.
Btw, does your other Mac, the one you want to share to, not have AirPort?

Windows actually does a better job, if you have bootcamp, but you can share an internet connection...

System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet Sharing

Share through wifi.

Tether is typically used when you are sharing a mobile data connection.
