Network Bridge fails to connect after restart

I have 3 reasons for a bridge connection.

I do not have a wired network in my house.

My PC is 10 feet away from the XBOX 360.

I do not want to spend $100.00 for the XBOX 360 wireless link if I do not have to.

At Fry's I picked up that 20 buck router and was done. My friend tells me it's great.

But back to your setup. I never found the bridge to work. Did you try ICS? Remember I offer no condolences when it fails but the bridge doesn't seem to be the correct choice here.

OK

So you did not get the bridge network method to work.

Are you using wireless to connect from the Fry's router to your main home network router?

That is what I require as I have 2 floors between my DIR-625 and my XBOX.

Now try ICS. Sorry but with all the articles on ICS I never write how to set it up here.

As to the router, I set it up just like the manuals tell us. Nothing different to note.

My computer is 2 floors away from my network router.
I do not have any 10/100/1000 network wiring in my house.
My XBOX 360 does not have wireless.
My Computer does have wireless.
The Computer is 10 feet away from my XBOX 360.

Is the router you are talking about a wireless one? If so then I think it is more that $20.00.

My thoughts are to use the 2 nework connections in the PC to pass through the XBOX onto the wireless network. To do this I think I need to bridge the network connections. When I do this it works fine until I shut down the PC then when I restart it I do not get any connection between the PC and the Router via the wireless network.

This is my issue.

What I would like to know is "Is it possible to have the bridged netwrok connections re establish their connection automatically when the PC restarts?"

If you are doing this in a different manner kindly describe the network and hardware so I can determine if I want to get mine setup that way or just bite the big MS bullet and get the wireless NIC for the XBOX 360

Sorry but I always decline duplicating web pages about it.

I can't use a bridge for this, but I could use ICS.

I know this is a very old topic but no one else is discussing this online, I have a similar problem when using the network bridge, only mine is after a restart the bridge will connect but will periodically drop/lag out, very irritating when playing xbox, the problem lies with the bridge itself, when the pc is rebooted the bridge will connect first before the LAN/high speed connections are reset up thus causing an error with the bridge, solution is to to simply delete the network bridge and create a new one, worked well on my vista sp2 pc.

This is like the old CONNECTOID issue. When you have a problem with those you delete and create a new one. But today's everyone users tend to not want to know what these are today.

Could be good news for the service industry.
