I recently had a cable modem installed at my home and I got a new Sony S5100 Blu-ray player (which has a NIC built-in). I have a PC with 2 NICs in it. My OS is Win 7 64-bit and I'm trying to get the second NIC in my PC to "share" or "bridge" itself to my primary NIC which works fine. The APIPA demon keeps assigning a 169.254.x.x IP on the 2nd NIC which is attached to the Blu-ray player...and Windows and Sony all report the reason it won't work is because it's a "Public" network and not to use the 169 range. OK. DHCP is enabled on both NICs, and I also tried disabling DHCP on the 2nd NIC and setting the default gateway to the IP of the primary NIC, and of course trying the Windows ICS and Bridging built-in routines. No luck. Somebody convince me I can pipe output via the 2nd NIC to my Blu-ray player so I can watch Netflix lusty vampire movies without buying a router?
