You need to make sure your ethernet port supports cross over capability where it can receive the data that is sent from the laptop to your wired PC connection. Before this was available crossover ethernet cables are used but most if not all ethernet ports theses days can do it within the software.

I believe it should be an option inside it's properties labeled as Midi or Mdi-X to enable cross over capabilities.

I believe if you have it set to auto under Speeds and Duplex it is enabled, I'm not super familiar with a bridged ethernet setup since i haven't tried it before:
