Also note if I wire up the ethernet with normal cable to my router it will get the correct ip from the router and can access the internet. Immediately after bridging I get no IP. Request has timed out.
Thanks you! There is something fishy going on! When you create the bridge, the bridge should immediately get the IP configuration that the wireless originally has. EDIT : Did you notice those lease dates???
No idea what is wrong, I ended up removing the bridge to start over fresh. Windows takes 30 minutes to add my wireless connection to the bridge and then I waited another hour and it never added my ethernet so I finally killed the process.
No that I remember it did the same thing last time. So what might be causing this thing to not bridge? If I kill the process I can then add the connections but I get the results I posted before. Also my laptop date is wrong, so those dates are correct according to my laptop. Remove the bridge, and run the repair previously posted, to refresh your memory Then I'd like to check the system services. All of these services should be started, and their startup type should be automatic or perhaps manual.
If a service is not running, open it's properties and check the dependencies. Check each of the dependencies and see which one is preventing the service from running. Checking the event log is also a good idea here, there may be clues to what is failing. Thanks, I'll check when I get home. Does the XBOX need to be on and connected when bridging? Or can I just bridge the "unplugged" ethernet connection?
Anyway I tried it both ways with same result. Windows takes over an hour to bridge and still does not finish without me killing the process. As for those services, I can say most are running, but I need to check a few. I'll also check the event log although the bridge does not fail, it always shows it is running, but never finished in the 2 hours I let it attempt to complete. Something is wrong, because with or without anything connected to the secondary network connection, a bridge for me is completed in an instant.
Well after trying everything in post 8 all services started, automatic or manual I was able to create the bridge. It only took about 15 seconds to make the bridge and add both connection. Problem is I still get the private ip for the bridge and no internet access. I also note that my wireless connection drops from 54mbps to 1mbps after it becoms part of the bridge, but still shows excellent strength.
I am runnnig SP2 right now, think SP3 would fix this? Anything at all? Everyone makes this sound so simple, but I have spent way too much time with it. I'll post if needed.

Vangie Beal. April 4, Updated on: May 24, A bridge forwards all traffic received from any one network to all of the others, and its main purpose is to join networks using disparate media. To create a bridged network, install the necessary network adapters in one Windows XP computer, as described previously under "Installing Multiple Network Adapters. When all of the adapters are installed, follow these steps:. A new icon will appear that represents the bridge itself.
