So I have a laptop w/ wireless (using XP Professional) and a desktop (using
Vista Ultimate). My laptop connects to my router thru wireless, and it
connects to my desktop thru a ethernet cable. I bridged my wireless and
ethernet connection on my laptop in order to connect my desktop to internet
wirelessly. This method works fine for several weeks, until one day it
suddenly stops working. No matter how I disconnect and reconnect everything,
reset my router, disable/re-enable network adaptor, the desktop still showing
me that it has connected to a unidentified network (public) with local area
connection (sometimes it showed limited connection as well). However,
sometimes my desktop has 2 connections: one is unidentified and another one
is the normal connection I would get if I successfully connected to the
internet. During this situation, even though my desktop can't connect to the
internet, I have access to my router.
I have tried my best to describe the situation, I sincerely hope that
someone could help me here.
p.s.: my laptop could access internet thru wireless normally
