Bridge connection

[codyyy]

I need your help peeps.
So i have one pc connected directly to router and i was lazy to buy another cable and i just made bridge connection to my pc.
And the problem is it loses connection after rebooting pc. Problem solves itself by just re-enabling bridge connection. I tried to automatise it somehow and didn't find any instrunctions on the internet x)
I tried googling but didn't find anything...

You can write a Powershell script to do that or write an application, no idea on how though.

Not understanding this clearly.

 

Did you try to directly connect two PCs directly with ethernet? If so, of course the connection will be lost on reboot, but you an set up static IPs. Why so complicated, though? Why not use a simple unmanaged switch to share the connection?

Well, you are right. I didn't know that these things exist tbh. Switch will do the trick. Thank you!!

A bridge should come back on boot though.  My guess is something was configured wrong as once bridged it should be the bridge that gets assigned the IP address not the physical NICs.

 

Its a perfectly valid option if you know the bridge PC is always going to be powered up when the other one is and especially if you're short of an outlet to plug a switch into.
