| vista64 | Re: bridge connections Here is a Microsoft article on bridging: Network Bridge: Networking and Communications It should be noted that if all you want to do is share your internet connection with your xbox, you can also use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing), which is a simpler technique for that specific purpose. (Bridges can be used for other purposes, beyond just sharing your internet connection off of your PC.) |
