Need Help setting up a network bridge between a Laptop and a Desktop
I have an HP laptop running windows 7 home premium, and a self-built desktop running a variation of windows 7 ultimate. I've been using a network adapter for the desktop, but the connection is quite slow, and I'd like to share my laptop's good connection. My setup is as follows:
[Router]----Wireless--------[Laptop]-------Ethernet cable---------[Desktop]
I have gone to network connections, disabled the sharing option, and created the bridge. It is successfully created, but on the Desktop, nothing happens. It simply says "unidentified network," and I don't have any internet. I'm stuck, at this point. I know that people often ask for an ipconfig, so here is mine, for the laptop:

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)
EDIT: This ipconfig is with the Bridge currently running. ask if you need one without the bridge.
