In my HOST, the wireless adapter is my connection to my LAN (very important) and my connection to my CLIENT, the server, is via regular NIC and a crossover cable.* Step 2: Take inventory of the connections on your HOST PC and what they will function as. You will not take out your aggression on passersby by strangling them with UTP. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me, there was no accurate documentation on network bridging that factored in any variables AT all. LAN- (wireless NIC) HOST (NIC) - (crossover cable) - (NIC) CLIENT

Here was the setup I was looking to achieve for this particular configuration. I need constant and quick access to a server for a few days via a cross over (long story**) and ICS drove me up the wall the other day, so after a bunch of other attempts, rewiring my crossover cable to straight and using a switch and getting it to work but wanting to figure out how to do it without a switch, I decided to use the network bridge.
