I meant that in the properties settings for the wireless connection, I
checked
"share this computer's internet connection with other computers" and I
created
a network bridge between the LAN connection and the wireless connection. I
set the IP address of the network bridge to 192.168.0.1 since after creating
the
bridge, it had an IP starting with 169.
