Network Bridging.

Here is my current network set-up: Router (downstairs); PC with Wireless (Upstairs); Xbox with Ethernet cable attachment to the PC (upstairs).
As you can probably tell, I'm trying to make a network bridge from the pc to the Xbox so the Xbox will have internet access. I'm running Windows 7 (32-bit) and have bridged both the connections in the network properties and the bridge is successfully made; however, Once I have made the bridge, the PC's wireless loses it's internet connection so I can't connect to the internet on the PC. When I had Windows XP, I did not have this problem.

To summarise, why is my Pc's wireless losing it's connection when I make a network bridge via Ethernet from the PC to the Xbox.

Thanks, Glenn.

It's funny i see this. I just tried to do the same last weekend. From what i have see on youtube (i tried with my laptop to xbox 360) is that you bridge your active wireless internet with your LAN connection. This will show that you have no wireless internet, but actually do have internet.

Now i only got that far. I never did get my xbox to connect to xbox live (on youtube they did). But if i went on my laptop, i could still use the internet. So i am curious on what people say and tips n tricks to get this to work. I couldn't figure out where i went wrong.
