Network bridge help! (Please help!)

[upliftsleet1974]

I am using a laptop to bridge the wifi network to my desktop and get an error on my desktop

 

"Ethernet does not have a valid ip configuration" I also get ip conflict errors.

 

I have tried.

Restarting both computers and resetting the bridge a few times.

 

 

Got any ideas?????

have you tried manually typing in a valid IP address from your range/subnet?

So your laptop is receiving wifi and then giving internet to your desktop?

 

If so then just run the troubleshooter, I've gotten a few invalid IP address problems with my power line adapter and it just fixes it automaticlly

 

EDIT: Troubleshoot on the desktop

Yes laptop is on the wifi and I want to use the internet on the tower yes.

I have run the troubleshooter a few times on both comps.

Well I dont know what your current configuration is. Check on the laptops connection:

 

example:

laptop IP :192.168.0.5

laptop Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0 (/24)

default gateway: 192.168.0.1

 

so if this is the case or close to it just add 1 to the IP address and keep the rest the same on the desktop.

The two networks must have diffrent ip classes, else you get ip conflict.

Wow so all it was is I needed to share the network.
