    bluetooth PAN link_key_request then nothing

    I want to use my fedora laptop as an internet server to a windows client laptop. When I try to connect to fedora through bluetooth PAN the windows utility detects the bluez PAN server but will not connect. When I try to connect I keep tail -f /var/log/messages running in the background and that gives this message

    Both devices are paired together, and I have tryed various combinations of the pand in linux but nothing helps, I have even tryed to connect to the windows machine from fedora but it will still not connect, here is how I executed pand

    pand --listen -M --service=PANU --role=NAT -n --persist -sdp

    I don't know what i'm doing wrong here and have just got the dund working to share internet with my palm treo 650 using a few guides online. If anyone could help with this problem I would appreciate it, and any logs anyone might need to help I will post. Keep in mind i'm not fluent with linux but i'm not a noob

    well I'm now able to connect to the windows pc from linux, which seems fine. Now all thats left to do is get the nat and dhcp setup and i'll be set, for anyone interested the command I used to connect was
    pand -c 00:1F:81:00:08:30 --role=NAT --service=PANU -n --persist
