| Re: [SRS] Can't share connection any more said by countryjoe  :
1. Yes: it reads: Wireless Network Connection 3. Enabled, bridged. Instant wireless network pc card ver 3.0
Linksys cards won't worked bridged; right click on it and choose remove from bridge (or words to that effect)
Please run ipconfig /all from the command prompt on your laptop: (Start => Run => type in cmd => type in ipconfig /all). Please post everything it says.
What is the IP address of your WAP? If it is not in the address range 192.169.0.3-192.168.0.254 please give it a new IP in that range, taking care not to give it one already in use by any other device on your LAN.

| Re: [SRS] Can't share connection any more In Network Connections, I removed the "1394 Connection" from the Bridge. It is enabled. Wireless Network Connection is enabled. These are the only two icons showing in the section titled LAN or High Speed Internet. In the Network Bridge section are: Network Bridge, which says "Network cable unplugged" and Local Area Connection, which says "Network cable unplugged."
The IP address of the WAP has been set to 192.169.0.2 (Incidentally, I did this by inserting the Linksys Setup Wizard CD in the desktop and then ran the wizard, which let me change the IP address. I tried to run the wizard on the laptop, but kept getting an error message that said "No wireless access point found." Meantime, in the systray, there are icons for the Wireless Internet Utility and one for the Wireless Internet Connection, which shows "excellent" signal strength at 11 mps.)
I ran ipconfig /all on the laptop. Here's what it says:
Hostname 8100laptop
Primary DNS suffix
Node type Mixed
IP routing enabled No
Win Proxy enabled No
Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection 3
Connection-specific DNS Suffix
Description: Instant Wireless Network PC Card ver 3.0
Physical address: 00-06-25-28-4D-61
Dhcp enabled: No
IP address: 192.168.0.2 (which I don't understand, as I just set it up as 192.169.0.2 with the setup utility, and that's what the utility shows when I re-run it)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway:
DNS Servers: 198.77.116.8 and 207.217.120.83
Ethernet adapter Network Bridge (Network Bridge) 54:
Media state: disconnected
Description: MAC bridge miniport
Physical address: 02-04-76-4C-65-92
That's it. Thanks to you, F.A.B., and Satburn for your help. I feel like I'm in the intensive care ward waiting for the doctors!

| Small addendum. After removing the bridges, I was able to run the Linksys setup wizard on the laptop. It shows the WAP IP address is 192.169.02, but ipconfig /all shows it as 192.168.0.2.

| OK, I changed the WAP IP to 192.168.0.3 using the Linksys setup utility (on the laptop).
No, the Wireless Network Connection is not bridged. (The only two items that are are "unplugged" -- Network Bridge and Local Area Connection.
