Default Connect to the Internet via your computer? (bluetooth)

Hi

I'm trying to share my Internet from my laptop to my Milestone wireless. I've read in here that Android doesn't support ad-hoc, and I don't have a wireless router so that leaves me with bluetooth. So my big Q is: "Can you share your Internet from your computer to a Android-device via bluetooth?"

You may be able to get ad-hoc support somehow if your phone is rooted. I know you can turn it into a wireless access point with root access, so it's possible someone has figured out how to configure ad-hoc support. I doubt you can get a connection from your computer through Bluetooth though.

Everything works on my Macbook Air and HTC Hero. I use Macbook Air as a wifi router when connected to internet by cable and share internet connection with my HTC Hero.
