You might be able to teather the two computers together, but there is the OS barrier.

Turn your computer into a gateway and use an ethernet cable between you and your friend (will probably need a cheap ethernet switch too).

I believe you will need to either use a crossover-style cable between your Ethernet port and your friend's, or use a network switch with normal Ethernet cables. 

 

A bridge could mean a bunch of different things, it's unfortunately a term used for alot of things.

At the end of the microsoft article, it talks about ad-hoc. You may be able to create an ad-hoc connection using another wireless card to wirelessly share with your friend.

This is from the Microsoft article I posted.

 

1-3 is you connecting to wifi. (picture shows a modem etc, but, you connecting to wifi replaces all those items)

 

4 is your computer

 

5 is the hub/switch

 

The other computers is your friend's. 

 

Connect your computer to the switch using an ethernet cable. and then another cable from the switch to your friend's computer. And then follow the setup instructions on either of the links I posted.
