250899 2004-07-09 04:43:00 Hi folks

I have a wired LAN and have just setup a wireless AD-HOC connection between 2 machines. One of my machines has both a wired network card and a wireless. Both networks operate fine independently, but when I bridge the 2 networks the wireless network keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. All machine on the network are running XP and XP is in managing the wireless network. I tried using the software that came with the cards but had similar troubles. Any ideas on how to fix this or how I could run the network without the bridge. (I am too cheap to purchase an access point)

cheers
Cam
