What do I need to do to be able to "tether" my Windows 7 laptop computer to my IPhone cell phone for internet access using a Bluetooth wireless connection?

What do I need to do to be able to "tether" my Windows 7 laptop computer to my IPhone cell phone for internet access using a Bluetooth wireless connection?

My IPhone cell phone has wireless internet access.

I have heard that I might be able to gain internet access on my Windows 7 laptop by "tethering" my IPhone cell phone for internet access using a Bluetooth wireless connection.

How exactly is this done?

Please Note: This question is not a duplicate of the last question that I just posted, which asked how to tether a Windows 7 laptop to a Samsung Black Jack 2 cell phone.

ComputerTechie,

Are other internet enabled AT&T Wireless cell phones that are running the Windows Mobile operating system (such as the HP Ipaq Glisten or the Samsung Black Jack 2) also able to "tether" my Windows 7 laptop computer to my IPhone cell phone for internet access using a Bluetooth wireless connection.

Would this be done using ITunes (on the computer or on the cell phone) or by using a different method?

How can I use the Microsoft Security Configuration Manager to unlock my Samsung Blackjack 2 cell phone so that I can install third party applications?

Whenever I launch the Security Configuration Manager program and change the Selected Configuration from Locked to Security Off, I get a message that says "Sign the CPF required for communication" (see the screenshot).

What do I need to do so that I can turn the security off on my Samsung Blackjack 2 cell phone?

Do I need to download and install one of the SPC certificates shown in the list? If so, which one do I need to download and install?

I need to be able to turn the Security off on my Samsung Blackjack 2 cell phone so that I will be able to install unsigned third party applications that will then allow me to "tether" Windows 7 laptop computer with my Samsung Blackjack 2 cell phone so that I can use the Samsung Blackjack 2 cell phone as a "modem" to establish an internet connection.

Please tell me what I need to do.

I am following the instructions that I have gotten from this website: http://www.corynielsen.com/modifications-and-hacks/unlocking-your-blackjack
