MAC bridge?

AMD-playa · 20-February-05, 12:55 PM

fresh install of windows xp and networking was fine, internet and everything. Now i'm not getting any internet, and in Network Connections theres a MAC Bridge?? Can't even access the router im hooked into, not sure where to begin troubleshooting, any ideas??

thanks

right click on it and disable it or remove it? is it bridging firewire and ethernet?

Try linking your LAN connection to the bridge.

try setting up the connection in the control panel, you will have to select LAN!

cheers!

im baffled, i removed the bridge, I've got two Locan Area Connections (2 nic's) and the one with the CAT5 cable is enabled and the empty one is disabled. Both computers are on same workgroup, both into router to cable modem. When i do IP config i dont even get a default gateway, it's not even getting to the router. The network card is working properly, any more ideas??

ok im gonna try something here so bare with me

modem- router ----should be a crossover Depending on modem cable my vary

router -pc's ------should be straight through

the best thing that i would recommend would be this

start meny- run- cmd- iprelease and then renew!

it sounds like a werid issue

Are you running windows xp? Try running the network config if you are.
