Problems sharing internet connection

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

You can't bridge the cards, but do need to use Internet Connection Sharing
to be "networked" in your situation. Check in Help and Support for the
details on ICS, and if you need further help, you should post to the
microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web newsgroup which supports general
networking questions. This newsgroup supports Microsoft Broadband
Networking hardware devices and related software.
