| 124105 | 2003-02-26 06:42:00 | I have a laptop running Windows NT 5 (2K), it has a hard wired connection to my Lan, (which has a internet gateway, DNS server and DHCP server), and a 802.11b Wireless Lan card running in ad-hoc, (Peer-to-Peer mode), what I want to do I create a bridge between the two networks on my laptop, so that users on the wireless Lan can see and access the services running on the hard wired Lan. How would I go about doing this on Win NT 5 (2K)? Cheers Liam |

| 124106 | 2003-02-26 07:07:00 | Right-click the connection and choose "Bridge Connection" should do the trick I think. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 124107 | 2003-02-26 07:15:00 | No bridge connection button in NT 5 (2K), are you thinking of NT 5.1 (XP)? | nz_liam (845) | ||
| 124108 | 2003-02-26 07:54:00 | Just presumed it would be the same :O | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 124109 | 2003-02-26 08:06:00 | Yea, that yould be nice..... Because I really do need to bridge the Lan's. | nz_liam (845) | ||
| 124110 | 2003-02-26 08:35:00 | Surely it must be possible to do this in NT 5 (2K) if you can do it in NT 5.1 (XP), otherwise I will try doing it in Linux, can this be done in RedHat8? | nz_liam (845) | ||
| 124111 | 2003-02-26 08:42:00 | Just did some googling and came up with this. You cannot create a bridge connection on a computer running Windows 2000 or earlier versions of Windows. (www.microsoft.com) |

| 124112 | 2003-02-26 10:20:00 | Well Chilling_S has suggested a few things to me to try, so I will grab the second wireless card tomorrow morning (the store only had one in stock) and see what happens from there. Cheers Liam |

| 124113 | 2003-02-26 20:52:00 | What would happen if you specified the 2K machine withboth the LAN and WLAN cards in it as DNS server on the Client PC's, and then try and get it to forward DNS queries to your router, perhaps by setting the router as Primay DNS server in the LAN TCP/IP Properties?! Or something to a similar effect |

| 124114 | 2003-02-27 01:42:00 | Of course it can be done in Linux. :D I think it's called something like "forward TCP". | Graham L (2) | ||
