Adding wireless connection to bridge causes it to disconnect from

Hi,

I have a wireless router (WPA enabled) connected to my dsl line, four
computers (A B C D) connected to a wired switch, and a wireless card in A
(windows xp pro).

I want to allow B C and D to access the internet through the wireless card
in A, so I added the LAN connection and the wireless connection to a bridge.
Everything worked fine, but the wireless connection disconnected.

Any suggestions?

is there no way of bridging it? i don't want to have to manage two subnets
and have A use extra resources to route between them.

Hi

I do not fully understand the concoction but I will try.

Computer A is connected wirelessly to the Router.

Computer A needs a Wired Card in addition to the Wireless Card.

A regular switch has to be plugged to the A's Wired card.

The other computers have to be plugged via wires to the switch.

Computer A need to run Windows XP Pro.

The wired card in A, and the three other computers have to be configured
with a static IP that is on the same subnet, but the subnet has to be
different from the one of the Wireless connection.

Example: Wireless connection 192.168.1.2, the wired NIC. and the others
192.168.100.xxx

Once it is done, you Bridge the two Cards in computer A.

Once the Bridge is working correctly, all the computers would be on the same
Network, Routed by the Wireless Router.
