I am attempting to connect a playstation 2 wirelessley via my laptop. I try and bridge the wirless connection on my laptop to the local are connection (ethernet) with goes from my laptop to my ps2. When I bridge the connection the wireless signal says not connected. I cannot become reconnected until i delete the bridge. Am I doing something wrong?
don't put a gateway on the wireless connection on the laptop. then the bridge should work. Answers are only as good as the information you provide.

Thanks for the information but forgive me, what do you mean by a gateway?
In the nic properties you have
ip address
subnet mask
gateway ip <------Answers are only as good as the information you provide.

Thank you once again, the box that said obtain IP automatically was checked. When I input my IP and subnet no gateway like you suggested I lose internet connection again. Any idea why this happens? i obtained my IP and subnet by Start>run>cmd>ipconfig
post your ipconfig /all results for review Answers are only as good as the information you provide.

Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Media State.....................: Media disconnected
Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection 2:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix.: gateway.2wire.net
IP Address.............................: 192.168.0.65
Subnet Mask..........................: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway......................: 192.168.0.1
That is not the complete ipconfig /all which would have been nice so I can see BOTH interfaces. Since you have "media disconnected" yet you have ip info it would appear you have a statically assigned ip address. This also appears to be the internet facing nic.
