So my little bro got a phone that has Bluetooth, but not wi-fi. How could I get the phone on the internet through Bluetooth (using my PC as a gateway)?
 
I don't think that is possible, since phone Internet browsers do not support Bluetooth. Also, BT isn't a normally supported protocol for Internet.

What OS is on the phone?

BT is just the physical layer. I know WM makes some DUN device by default and creates some virtual COM ports. You can use those to access the internet.
 
pdanet supports bluetooth sync for internet but thats on android OS
 
Most Win Phones include wifi, so I just thought he was talking about a basic phone, but still, I doubt he will be able to use BT for Internet....
 
I think the phone is on Nucleus RTOS. Probably chinese or some crap, that's where he got the phone.
 
On my previous Touch Pro Diamond (WinMo) all I did was connect through Active Sync Bluetooth and I got internet access on my phone through my PC.
 
Is there anything in the phones settings about Internet over BT?
 
Bluetooth is, as you probably know, very short range - I think 30ft max. If that's not a problem, go for it.

I've seen bluetooth adapters for pc. Don't recall specifically, but think they're pretty cheap.

Here's what's at newegg - just as an example. Note: there's no separate category for bt-pc adapters, so some other shit is mixed in with that search.
 
He already has a Bluetooth thing for the PC (again, probably chinese or some crap), I just can't figure out how to get Windows to let him go through Bluetooth, then go through my wireless card.
 
I think you need a 3G Wireless Card router to do what your thinking about Like This
The wireless card will only work with one device, so a router would be absolutely necessary to get the connection to multiple devices....... any connection via BT is file sharing only
