System reboots after creating network bridge

[Guest]

I have a home network around a workstation that has four network ports:

- An ISDN PCI card connected to the phone line. It is used as the Internet
connection.

- Two cable ethernet adapters that I use to connect to other computers. I
call them cable 1-2.

- A wireless adapter to connect to a laptop.

I'm able to share the ISDN internet connection with any of the adapters
individually. When I try to join the three of them (cable 1-2 and wireless)
in a network bridge, or any two of them, the system inmediatily resets. I've
tried to create it with and without the internet sharing configured at the
ISDN line, but the result is always the same.

By system resets I mean it starts as from power on, and when loging in
resets again. I'm able to reconfigure it booting in safe mode and removing
the bridge.

This happened with XP SP1 and SP2. All drivers are up to date.

Does anyone has a clue of what may be going on here?

Thanks in advance,

Luis

Luis,

I would guess that either the drivers are not all up to date or
one of the drivers' manufacturers is not up to date.

But I have a general recommendation. Do yourself a big favor and
buy a wireless router. Unless you buy a bad one, I promise that
you won't regret it. They usually have 4 Ethernet ports as well.
