Arrow Automatic bluetooth tethering with Windows 7?

Hi, I was trying to couple my Tour with my new netbook that's running Windows 7. Once the phone and the laptop were connected, I double-clicked on the little phone icon and up popped a screen called "Bluetooth Device Control" where there is a little menu of "Phone Operations." One of these says "Use phone to connect to internet" and then a button that says "Connect."

I hit connect and, lo and behold, I was tethered to the blackberry and able to surf the web with no software at all involved. No Tether software, no blackberry desktop manager software, no 'nothing. I was stunned.

HOWEVER, the problem is that I can't connect to Skype, Trillian, or any non-html based apps with this tethering connection.

I'm posting this using this Windows 7 bluetooth tethering connection. Has anybody else tried this? What have been your results? thx
