Bridging Wireless Connection for Xbox.

[NickM]

I have my xbox connected to a hub which is connected to my laptop via Ethernet cable. The laptop connects to the net via wireless router.

I am trying to bridge the 2 connections so I can access xbox live but having some difficulty. It used to work just fine (with the odd disconnection now and then) but now whenever the 2 connections are bridged, neither device can see the internet, only the local network. When I delete the bridge, my laptop can use the internet fine.

I have disabled Windows firewall and setup my firewall (Outpost) to treat both connections as a NAT zone.

Any Ideas?

Now it works for a while, when bridged, but disconnects from the internet a lot (just on the computer, not the router itself). Sometimes it reconnects fine after a few seconds, most of the time it just stays disconnected till I deleted the bridge.
