I would like to bridge my two Network cards so that I can share my wireless internet connection. I have 1 Wirless Lan card and one 10/100 Bit Lan card. The problem I have is when I go to the properties of the 2 Nic cards and Uncheck Internet connection sharing and then I go to bridge the 2 cards it still says that internet connect is enabling and so I cannot bridge the 2 connections. I dont know what else I can do to disable internet connection sharing, as far as I am aware the only place to disable it is where I have looked in the properties of the 2 cards. I am running Windows XP Pro. Can anybody help? Thanks, Chris

Manually configuring a simple network bridge only allows computers on two separate physical network segments to all connect to the same logical network/subnet. It does not configure the bridging computer to act as a router, which is what you would need to allow the computers on your home network to connect to another (physically and logically) separate network
When you run the Network/ICS wizard though, it does more that just create a bridge- it essentially configures the ICS computer as a router by acting as a DHCP and DNS server for the LAN-side machines, and enabling the Windows firewall on the Internet-facing NIC.
