bridge connections

[Guest]

read carefully
I have 2 hosts (left and right) connected with a CAT5 cross patch cable
both have XP Prof with SP2 and all updates
both have IPV6 installed
I can ping6 ping4 both directions except for the following situation:
the host on the right (for reference) has another interface connected
successfully to a IPV4 network

"bridge connections" did not work!

from the host on the left, I tried to ping the IPV4 network address of the
computer
on the right and failed "cannot reach address"

must be some type of ipconfig command
