Bridge Connection Issue

Upon trying to bridge the connection between a Local Area Connection and a
Wireless network connection I keep getting a pop-up that states: "To create a
Network Bridge, you must select at least two LAN or High-Speed Internet
connections that are not being used by Internet Connection Sharing." I am
basically trying to use the wireless internet capabilities from my laptop on
a separate computer, thereby setting up a network. Any assistance would be
greatly appreciated.

Hi
For Bridging the Host computer need to have to Network card (can be wire or
and wireless). One card gets the Internet the other connects to the guest
computer.
If the Host computer is getting the Internet from your own Router that has
DHCP that can provide an IP to the Bridged computer than you can use regular
Bridging (for regular Bridging the Host computer need Win XP Pro, or
Vista).
If the Host computer is Not connected in this manner you need to use ICS.

Hi
I'm sorry. I'm not too well versed with computer lingo. Could you dumb that
down for me please? Thanks!

Hi
I can explain more if you describe what is that you have there and what you
intend to do with it, Otherwise I would have to write an On line Book to
explain better the issues involved.
