Internet access doesn't use workgroup names or computer names --
they're only used for file and printer sharing. Something else is
causing the problem.
Please reply to this message in the news group (not by E-mail) with
more information to help other people understand the problem:
What network adapter has the 192.168.0.1 address and shares the
Internet connection with ACER and DESK2? Is it one of the GBit
adapters, the IEEE1394a adapter, or a different one?
What static address did you give the network bridge?
Just out of curiosity, why do you want to bridge those connections?
