How to connect to Internet from Windows 7 laptop tethered over blue tooth to Samsung S4


Question

Android Samsung S4: Tethering and Mobile Hotspots > Bluetooth (enabled)
Windows 7 laptop: Bluetooth enabled, paired with Samsung S4.



Windows Bluetooth Device Control window opens.
By default, the Samsung S4 has (Disconnected) below it, even though they were just paired & my laptop has no Internet connection.



My S4 has a working Internet connection.

If I try to click Connect, under Windows Bluetooth Device Control > Personal Network and Communication, a green tick appears over the Bluetooh icon located between the diagram of the laptop and the S4 at the top of the Bluetooth Device Control window. However, it reverts back to the default bluetooth icon, and the the S4 continues to display (Disconnected) below it.



I have download the Samsung Android USB Drivers for Windows, and the S4 displays as a device with no driver problems in Windows Device Manager.



How do I have my Windows 7 laptop use my Samsung S4's mobile Internet connection while tethered over bluetooth?
