Hi i am having trouble with my network bridge. i have windows xp and had my dlink wireless adapter bridged with my Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network adapter and all was working fine. then for now reason i can tell stopped working. when my wireless and ethernet are bridged i lose all internet connectivity. however when i remove the bridge i regain connectivity. when the adapters are bridged they both say connected but the MAC miniport bridge says 'network cable unplugged'. i have tried googling but to no avail so was hoping some one here could shed some light on it.
heres the ipconfig when the bridge is deleted
