I repost here (yes, I apologize for this) given nobody answer me in the other group...
I'm dealing with a home lan, made by two PC's connected via ethernet cards and a Ipaq 5450 with wireless capability.
I've bought a wireless card for my PC and I happily succeed in connecting the PocketPC with the PC (With Windows XP Pro).
The problem was when I tried to share my internet connection, already shared over the LAN, also with the PocketPC, via the wireless. I tried to use a bridge (so advised me Windows XP) using the "Miniport of MAC bridge".
Well, one half of the thing works well (the LAN continue to share the internet), but the other doesn't. The PocketPC succeed in getting the IP number from the DHCP and nothing else. I can't even "ping" the PC.
Where I was wrong?
