How Do You Setup A Network Bridge?
A network bridge in Windows is a software method to connect two networks together so that they can communicate with each other. For example, in a small office with both a wired and wireless network, users on each network can only see other users on the same network: wired users cannot communicate with wireless users, and vice versa. By creating a network bridge, you can enable users of both networks to communicate with each other. These instructions will show you how to setup a network bridge in Windows XP and Windows Vista. Click on “Start” and select “Control Panel.” Double-click “Network Connections.” Hold down “CTRL” and click each of the network connections you wish to bridge. Right-click one of the network connections and select “Bridge Connections.” Click “Start” and select “Control Panel.” Double-click on “Network and Sharing Center.” Click “Manage Network Connections.” Hold down “CTRL” and click each of the network connections you wish to bridge.
