I removed the bridge from teh wireless network connection and I started to recieve, but I still can't see the otehr computer, but it is atleast recieving data now, whereas before it was not.

So now do an ipconfig in the command prompt...what does it say??

And can you configure it now in Network Places??

OH HELL YEAH! lmfao. It works now, I removed the bridge, then I could edit the wireless connection and now it works. thanks guys. I love you all! lol.

Sweet. Knew that stupid bridge was part of the problem, heheh...

That was anti-climactic.

Damn.


Happy man.

That'll be $69.87...

now I just need to find out how I can share the internet connection and how to get the printer to work.. hmmm.
isnt' there some way that I can use my desktop'* internet connection?

For the printer, can you set up a network printer in Printers and Faxes? Does it see one?

Can you still get to the internet on your desktop?

ICS. Run the wizard. Go to help, and type in "internet connection sharing" There should be a wizard to run it. Do this on the PC first, as it will be the host.

ICS is not preferred. You'd be ALOT better off plugging your internet connection into the WAN port on the router, and then piping both pc'* to it independently. ICS will slow down the host computer, and is a pain to get working right. And the PC has to be on for it to work.

alright, i got the printer working fine, now I just need to get to work on the internet connection. you guys have no idea how much I appreciate all the help.
