Are you doing that with 2 iOS 8 devices?
I ask because that actually fails on an iPad running iOS 8 if you're tethered to something via bluetooth instead of WiFi, even if the other end isn't an iPhone or a mobile device at all.
I only noticed this because my iPad 2, which has no cellular connection, recently told me it couldn't download an app update over the cellular connection it doesn't have, and that I should connect to WiFi instead. In reality it was connected to my Macbook via bluetooth and through it, my DSL connection at home, not an iPhone. And yet still... blocked app updates. Seems they assume any bluetooth connection is a mobile tether.
I have my iPad connected like that because WiFi on this device in iOS 8 is horribly broken, and disconnects from the AP 20+ times per day, which causes Netflix streams or anything else long-lived to fail.
It didn't break like that on iOS 7, and the AP here is made by Apple as well so this is multiple levels of absurd, they've had months to fix it or show some sign they care at all, but bluetooth connections work.... sigh.
