Wireless, LAN and "bridges"...

[Guest]

I repost here (yes, I apologize for this) given nobody answer me in the other group..
I'm dealing with a home lan, made by two PC's connected via ethernet cards and a Ipaq 5450 with wireless capability
I've bought a wireless card for my PC and I happily succeed in connecting the PocketPC with the PC (With Windows XP Pro)
The problem was when I tried to share my internet connection, already shared over the LAN, also with the PocketPC, via the wireless. I tried to use a bridge (so advised me Windows XP) using the "Miniport of MAC bridge"
Well, one half of the thing works well (the LAN continue to share the internet), but the other doesn't. The PocketPC succeed in getting the IP number from the DHCP and nothing else. I can't even "ping" the PC
Where I was wrong

The reason may be because your wireless card does not support P-mode well.

The easiest solution is to make the PC that has both the wired and wireless
adapters as an ICS host.

Or you can force the bridge to do the layer 3 bridge. The commend to do it
is "netsh bridge set adapter id=<adapter id> enable". You need replace the
<adapter id> with your wireless adapter id. You can find out the adapter
id using "netsh bridge show adapter".

Hi guys. I wish to thank you for the quick and appropriate answer. I managed to connect my PocketPC with the desktop and, hey men are you some kind of magicians or what?, with the Internet at the first try
Well, just for my curiosity: I did it with your third advice, using the "netsh bridge" command. But what is this P-mode? And if ICS stand for Internet Connection Sharing, my desktop PC (that own both wired and wireless NIC "and" Internet connection) is already sharing its Internet connection. Is there any other way to do this
Anyway, I thank you again... ah... is that solution permanent or I have to make a script for the "netsh" command
