Is it ad-hoc wifi when you bridge the connection?

ok so you set up your network on your laptop/desktop call it "n800 network" then once you can connect your n800 to the laptop/desktop via ad hoc thats when you can get the internet connection sorted

go to network connections and click and drag a box over the network card you are getting your internet from and to your wifi card(switched on) and then right click and select bridge connections.

and now the internet connection should (bridge over to your wifi card) and whatever network that is connected to(n800 network).

cheers

anymore advice just ask!

arg. i've been trying this on XP that is hardwired to internets via network switch for about 3 hrs and its not working out.
is there another thread that had more clues?

On XP i have set up ad-hoc network.

if i try bridging, i connect N800 to the network and on XP i get:

Network bridge:
Local Area Connection
Wireless Network Connection

both say: connected, bridged.

but i can't get to the internet on either XP or N800

if i try to remove the bridge and just enable Internet Connection Sharing on Local Area Connection, and connect N800, my XP internet works but, N800 doesn't work anyways.
