Default static ip address on a network bridge

Hi,
Just want to point out something I have found on Vista. When I set a static
ip address on a network bridge it never saves the gateway ip the first tim
you set it. Go back in and set it again and it works fine.


Cheers
Jonno

Default static ip address on a network bridge

I just tried setting a network bridge with a static IP, and didn't see an
issue. Would you mind posting exactly how to reproduce this? Are the
adapters you're bridging configured a particular way that causes this to
happen, for example?

Default static ip address on a network bridge

I am using a Linksys WUSB54G Wireless USB adapter and the onboard network
adapter of a HP Workstation XW6200 which is a broadcom gigabit adapter. I can
reproduce it every time. I just selected both adapters in manage network
connections then click bridge connections after thats completed I right click
the bridge set the ip address, SNM, gateway and DNS servers click apply and
then ok and when I try to connect to the internet it doesn't work. Go back
into the properties of the bridge and the gateway address isn't there.

Cheers
Jonno
