Bluetooth: PAN connection refused (111)

I tried to set up a PAN connection with both my windows 8.1 desktop computer and iPod 4g. Both attempts came up with this error:

$ sudo pand –c xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -n

pand[5029]: Bluetooth PAN daemon version 4.99
pand[5029]: Connecting to xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
pand[5029]: Connect to xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx failed. Connection refused(111)

Does anyone know how to possibly fix this?

-I am using a Debian based distribution.
