This sounds a silly question, but I’m trying to create a network between 3 computers over bluetooth, can we try to establish a connection-less or connection-oriented connection between each node, just like we do in IP networks.

Its possible to do peer to peer networking with bluetooth, the how depends on your OS,
here are a few examples,
Linux

Windows

Android

Note:
this will depend on the profiles your BT device/stack supports,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile
the LAN access profile lets a bluetooth device access the internet via a bluetooth enabled router or access point.
The PAN (personal area network) profile will allow you to do what you are describing. It essentially looks like Ethernet, so you can do anything with it. of course for what your describing you will need static ip addresses, but then you should be able to ping, make sockets, whatever.
Again the device and the OS has to support this profile, but most should.
