Bridged connection

Hey everyone. Today I've spent most of the time trying to set up a bridged Connection from my Laptop to my desktop via Ethernet cable. But no matter what I do nothing seems to be working. I have two different internets to Connect to, the main internet 300/300mbps, and the guest internet 5/5mbps. I Connect to the main internet, and then I hold CTRL and press the Ethernet and the Wireless and press bridge Connections, but whenever I do that it seems to bridge the guest network instead. Which means I only hit speeds of 1.4mbps MAX. And I need to be able to make it work With the main internet and not the guest internet. Any tips and ideas?

You should get a WI-fi card for your desktop. Are you using a standard Ethernet cable? Unless it has changed you use to need a crossover to make PC to PC connections. I haven't tried that in a very long time. You may not get full speed on a bridged connection. Maybe someone else will have more info on this.
