Firstly, I know its not ideal plan to move into the room with the cable tomorrow but I need this set up tonight :(

I've done this before on another computer before, but unsure if its different with windows 7.

I thought you just went into the "Manage Network Connections" on the laptop, selected the two connections you wanted to bridge and right clicked, then "Bridge Connections"

The PC doesnt seem to have any intenet connection, just says "Unidentifed Network - No internet access" :confused:

As always your knowledge is greatly appreciated :)
 
Depending on what you're trying to do with it any previous IP config on the NIC bridged needs to be re-configured on the bridge.

Windows bridging is horrific anyway, just buy a cheap switch and keep it on hand, and never have to worry about this ever again.
