Check out the BeamIt open source project. It will connect via bluetooth and WIFI (although it claims it does not do WIFI) and I have verified that it works well in my projects. It will allow peer to peer contact easily.

As for multiple connections, it is possible, but you will have to edit the BeamIt source code to make it possible. I suggest reading the GameKit programming guide

You can connect two iPhones and transfer data via Bluetooth using either the high-level GameKit framework or the lower-level  but still easy to work with  Bonjour discovery mechanisms   Bonjour also works transparently between Bluetooth and WiFi on the iPhone under 3 0  so it s a good choice if you would like to support iPhone-to-iPhone data transfers on those two types of networks   For more information  you can also look at the responses to these questions     where can I find iphone sdk 3 0 GameKit tutorials for developing P2P applications    iPhone to iPhone networking   GameKit in iPhone SDK 3 0   Is iPhone bluetooth function limited in OS 3 0

If I remember correctly  Bluetooth defines certain roles that devices can take   Most cell phones only support a certain number of roles   For instance  I can have a Bluetooth stereo headset that connects to my phone to receive audio  but just because my cell phone has Bluetooth does mean that it supports BEING a speaker for a different device - it doesn t advertise its capabilities of having a speaker for use by other Bluetooth devices     I assume you want to transfer files between two iPhones   Transferring files via Bluetooth does seem like functionality that I would put in the iPhone  but I m not Apple so I don t know for sure   In fact  yes  it seems that file transfer is not supported except in jailbroken phones    http   gizmodo com 5138797 iphone-bluetooth-file-transfer-coming-soon-yes  You ll probably get similar answers for Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking   I d imagine they kept the Bluetooth commands out of the SDK for various reasons and you ll have to jailbreak your phone to get the functionality back
