Hi again Ondrej --
I asked one of my coworkers about this and he suggested that I mention to
you that you can't execute netsh bridge commands unless you have already
bridged the connection between two network adapters.
You should be able to enter the netsh bridge context without having bridged
the adapters, however the commands won't work.
It seemed to me from your posts that the problem you were having was that
you couldn't even enter the "bridge" context, but I thought I would relay
this information in case there was a misunderstanding.
So to clarify, the first step is to bridge connections in the Network
Connections folder -- then open Command Prompt, type netsh, then enter,
then bridge, then enter, and then you should be able to execute the netsh
bridge commands.
Hope that helps --
