Is there a way to programmatically create a Network Bridge between any two
Ethernet NICs on a given PC?

Thank you,

Areg

So if I want to do bridging of packets from one interface card in XP to the
other, I have to implement it myself with some intermediate driver?

Thanks,

Sure there is:

"How the WindowsXP Network Bridge Works"
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/columns/cableguy/cg0102.asp

"Windows XP Bridging and Media Support for Home Networking"

http://www.eu.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/Plan/XPBrdgNt.asp

If you want to create a bridge "programmatically", you need to install
the bridge driver using the INetCfg interface. Do a search in Google
groups like "xp bridge programmatically".

I guess the XP bridge driver is an NDIS protocol driver (i.e. not an
IM), but I am not sure (never used it).
