Bridge on the network

[Martin Racette]

Hi

I have a notebook computer and a desktop, both link in a wireless network. About
2 weeks ago, I had to re-install the whole system on my notebook, and ever since
it installed a bridge for the wireless NIC, a D-Link DWL-G650.

When I disable the bridge and let the NIC handle the connection I can go on the
Internet, I can see the other computer but I can not access it nor can I access
the notebook from the desktop.

What is the bridge for anyway, before I re-install the NIC was connected
directly to the network but not anymore.

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you in Advance

Delete the bridge. Disabling it will basically disable all its member
adapters.

 

[Martin Racette]

I have done what you suggested, but I still can't access the other computer on
the network, but I do can navigate the Internet.

What should I do to fix this now, and could somebody tell me what is a bridge
for ?

A bridge is for joining two networks together, typically a wired and
wireless network.

Can you ping from one machine to the other?

The onboard NIC is not connected, and has not been used since I last re-install
the whole system. I have used the "wired" NIC before I had to re-install (that
was before I installed the wireless NIC) and after I installed the wireless I
never had a bridge, and everything was working fine

I don't know how that bridge was created

Not really, because Inever used the Network Wizard to setup my network, it was
recognized at once, with all the share folder, etc...

BTW. the bridge appeared about a week after I re-installed the entire notebook,
after a reboot

Yes, I had to completly de-install the whole NIC and to physically remove it,
reboot without it and then re-install the NIC and everything is working as it
should ever since
