Bridge network interfaces?
Connected to a LAN via an internal wireless 802.11 card a Windows Vista
Basic machine is using its internal 10/100BaseT NIC to connect to a network multi-function device using a CAT5 crossover cable. The Windows Vista Basic machine communicates perfectly with the multi-function device but now I would like other clients on the wireless network to also be able to connect to the network multi-function device. Is there anything Windows Vista Basic can do to bridge the two network interfaces to eliminate static routes at the default gateway of the LAN (I have a PIX 501 gateway and it does not route). My WiFi Access Points are in bridge mode so I cannot put a route in there. Perhaps I could put the static route in each Windows client? Hmmm. I have not done that since Windows NT. Can someone give me a suggestion?

Doh. Vista has the bridge feature built it. Works great.
And the PIX can add routes for inside networks. "just bob" kilbyfan@aoldotcom wrote in message m...
