i have the following scenario.

Two laptops are connected via a router through the Ethernet ports. These two computers need to be able to communicate together. One computer also needs to access the internet through a different adapter (i.e. we will taking these two laptops two various sites where by the most common type of internet access will be wireless).In isolation all of the various adapters work fine (i.e. the internal network works fine, and the wireless connects to the internet). However,we try to turn on all of the adapters at the same time,the following occurs:

  • If we bridge the two network connections together on the "Server" -The internet connection doesn't work through the wireless
  • If we don't bridge the connections
    • The internet connections don't work

It seems like http traffic is trying to be sent through the Ethernet adapter (which of course is not connected to an internet connection).

How can we solve this?
