Alright, I ran - netsh bridge set adapter 1 enable - and - netsh bridge set
adapter 2 enable - (1: wireless card, 2: LAN adapter) in cmd on the laptop,
so the bridge is working and I am able to access the internet on the laptop.
ipconfig /all on the laptop shows:
Windows IP Configuration

However, on my computer, after ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew, i
still get IP conflict errors. Here's what the computer shows:
Windows IP Configuration
Host Name : ham
Primary Dns Suffix :
Node Type : Unknown
IP Routing Enabled : No

Another thing worth noting, the IP address conflict notification keeps
popping up on the Laptop when I leave this configuration like this.
Any ideas?
--Thanks in advance!
