Network Bridge
Host computers with multiple network adapters may use the network bridge
function to connect several LAN segments. A LAN segment is a physical
connection between a host computer and a client computer. Network
bridging is a cost-effective method of connecting LAN segments since it
does not require expensive hardwares such as routers and technical
expertise for configuring Internet protocol (IP) addresses. Network bridge is
essential in enabling ICS among wireless clients in a home network.
To bridge a wired network connection to the wireless LAN adapter:
1.
Open the Wireless Settings
utility. Select Config from the
property window, then select the
Soft AP tab.
2.
Select a network connection
from the Available Network
Connections box, then drag the
connection to the Internet field.
Click Apply.
You must have Administrator privileges before you can create a network
bridge.
