Connect Lenovo T61p with iPhone via Bluetooth

Question

Setup: - Lenovo T61p (6458-5KG) running Windows7 - iPhone G3S

I am unable to connect my laptop to my iPhone via Bluetooth (I would like to use the iPhone as modem). My system is unable to find the driver for the bluetooth.

Anyone has any input as to where I might find a driver or any other means to get this to work?

I have tried to search the Lenovo website, but without much luck.

I know I can use the USB cable, but it is more convenient to use the wireless option.

Thank you.
