Ok I am trying to bridge connections. Basically I have my modem going to a router. Then from the router to a pc. Then from the pc out to next pc.

I am getting a connection on the pc but from the pc to the next pc I get no connection. I have a connection on Computer 1 but then when I try and connect to computer 2 it has no connection.

I bridged the 2 computers together and relized that yes I could just have my modem go to the router and then from the router out to the pcs. But I would like to do it this way. So can someone tell me what I am doing wrong stopping me from getting a connection to PC 2. The problem is something dealing with I am not sending a connection out from PC1. So could someone help.

Here is a Pic of what I am getting...

When you connect the 2 computers together, be sure to use a crossover cable, not a regular patch cord. The crossover has one end wired per 568A and the other end wired per 568B specs.

Also, in order to get internet connectivity on the second PC you would have to enable ICS on the first PC. Seems like a lot more hassle to go through than just plugging both PC's into the router...
