Networking Windows 7 and Vista

Matt, there are many threads on this site that have been posted trying to share the internet through another computer. I don’t know if any of those threads ever got it to work correctly. It may work for a time, but rebooting stops it, or it works for a month then stops for no reason, etc. Ultimately the best solution is to have a wireless card for each machine connecting to the internet or to have each machine have a hard wire (ethernet wire) connection to the router/switch to access the internet. This will give you the best performance and will cause you the least amount of headaches.

I would just connect both computers to the router via Ethernet cables. That will be your best bet.

ok, just want to make sure you understand what kind of internet i have, it's a wireless dongle that plugs in via usb.

Matt,

Looks like Ken (zigzag3143) can take it from here. I am not an expert at bridging.
