It appears to me that the bridge destroys the wireless configuration.How can I configure a Windows 10 bridge that leaves the wireless configuration unchanged? (note that I do not care about the Ethernet configuration as long as I have a working Internet gateway)
There seems to be some confused posters here...Let me clarify.... This is for accessing internet through a wireless card on a Windows machine and sharing it through a wired LAN segment with NO NAT in between. IN this way the LAN segment is on the same subnet as the wireless. T
I currently have a wireless bridge running on Windows 10 x86-64. This bridge connects wirelessly to the internet by way of my LAN and bridges to a VoIP telephone device (which has a built in second port configured as a hub, and a second device that is a very old NAS.
I must MANUALLY set IP addresses on the ethernet device on the wired side of the bridge. (this was something I actuallyanticipated and it is because of some of the same reasons pointed outon this thread)
I am currently investigating why this will not auto-reconnect (how I found this thread) to the wireless network when Windows is started but that is the only real issue I have with it. The fact that it can not use DHCP does not really bother me as I use mostly Fixed IP addressing with these kinds of devices anyway.
I think DHCP will even work given the right set of hardware. As I recall it is a limitation of most wireless cards. Linux does not "fix" this issue as it is a limitation of the wireless cards. Only a few wireless cards have the ability to pass on the MAC address of the connected ethernet device for a DHCP request.
As for my intermittent connection issue.....I found that assigning a Fixed IP to the bridge (as suggested elswehere here) seemed to allow Windows to auto connect. It did however take several attempts and I still have not attempted to use a DHCP client on the LAN cable side.
In my case, I'm bridging to my Unraid server, where I've set what IP it should use on the local network. If you check the Network Bridge in your Network Connections, my speed usually shows the combined speed of the bridged connections.
Well it still works. I am using bridge connection with my 1 Gbps Ethernet and 65 Mbps Wi-Fi and by somehow it managed to get 1.5 Gbps (I don't know if it is a bug or true, but I am sure that is what it tells me)
The first step is to use ICS and set up a mobile hotspot (as described by Daniel). This gives internet access to hotspot clients, however the clients are not visible over the lan because they are on a separate subnet (and Windows does not yet bridge this).
I've been bridging a WiFi to Ethernet for along time now so it can be done and it is easy and straightforward. Just highlight both connections right click and select bridge connections and you're done. I don't think you can add them one at a time as suggested above, you need two connections to create a bridge, it won't work one at a time.
However, the problem you are experiencing is that the Bridge is not picking up an IP address from your router and because it has no address it's no longer part of the network and cannot communicate so breaks the internet connection. I'm assuming that the WiFi is the path to the router and the Ethernet connection is to a NAS or something next to your computer?
This also happens to me periodically and I haven't figured out why it does it. Basically, the bridge will assume the name of your WiFi connection when it has an IP address and will change to unknown network when it hasn't got an address. I can go for weeks and it works fine and then it will just drop the network connection and won't reconnect until I reboot the computer and can take ages once I've done that. My thoughts are that the IP address gets renewed by DHCP periodically (IP Lease time) and for some reason on this occasion it won't pick up a new address when it's time to renew it. I think many modem/routers have a very short lease time like 1 hour by default. Perhaps try increasing the lease time to several days and then it might not happen as often.
I'm winging this as I go along and I thought why not assign a static address to eliminate any DHCP issue and negate lease times. So I created a static lease in the router and manually applied it to the bridge so we'll see how that goes.
So I have a friend who's having trouble with Hamachi I figured I'd try to help him out since he's not as computer savvy as I am. His issue routes from Hamachi blocking his Network 1 Wifi, blocking it off completely at times; for an hour or more sometimes. I'm not sure what the complete issue is as I've not had issues with this but it may be that his computer is super old 8+ years and that may be why there's conflicting issues but I want to be sure before I tell him he probably has to buy a new PC since on the market they're expensive, his was a custom build, runs Windows 10. If you have a fix to this problem I'd much appreciate it!
Whenever I want to connect a wifi connection after moving my laptop Hamachi does everything it can to make me not be able to access internet at all. The only way I've been able to bybass it is if I restart my laptop and Disable the **bleep** HAMACHI Ethernet port albeit it wanting to use Hamachi for stuff this **bleep** is **bleep**ING annoying As hell.
I think Hamachi has royally screwed up my computer ever since I uninstalled it. I installed on Oct. 18th because I know it's an easier solution than port forwarding and setting up a static IP, but I had a few problems with it a couple days ago so I uninstalled / reinstalled, and had it working again until last night.
I turned off the automatic startup for Hamachi, but when I turned my computer on yesterday I didn't have wifi at all. I checked my network adapters, nothing but Hamachi / Ethernet. My other computers in the house were working fine. So I tried to turn on Hamachi to see if it would help, tried resetting, nothing. Next I uninstalled it, restarted, still no wifi. Now my computer only had an ethernet adapter and no hamachi adapter. I did some more digging and went into my devices, it didn't show up there either until I found out it was hidden. Clicked properties, and got error 45 : "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)" ??????
Now I'm really confused, because this is a brand new laptop, never been bumped touched dropped etc and it's been working perfectly fine until hamachi, so I know it's not a direct hardware problem. I found only two other people by googling that had the same problem, one never found a solution, and the other couldn't find a fix besides a system restore. I tried everything, made sure Hamachi was fully uninstalled, checked my registry, did an sfc / dism scan, tried updating my drivers, EVERYTHING. Nothing worked.
Finally I decided to just uninstall the drivers through the device manager, and reinstall them...but it never showed up again since then. It's completely gone, not detected, not hidden anymore, completely vanished. Luckily I don't have a huge amount of things I needed to pull off my laptop, so I've got everything except my work program on an external drive, and plan to reformat in the next few days once I transfer that to my work computer. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this until then though I'm all ears...I've had nothing but trouble from this program, even when I used to use it years ago...this is the worst computer problem I've ever had though, praying it didn't completely fry my adapter somehow and everything just fixes itself on a full restore..
When I'm working from home I switch on my PC which is already connected to an ethernet cable: GlobalProtect connects almost immediately (usually to Europe Primary) and I'm able to access my company network drives, folders and remote desktops. However every operation is very slow: network folders take a lot of time to open on explorer, when I launch a RDP connection it takes a lot of time to log onto the the virtual machine and, above all, when I need to connect to oracle databases through ODBC it takes a lot of time to resolve such connections.
If I disconnect the ethernet cable, activate the WiFi connection (from same Router and same ISP) and wait for GlobalProtect to reconnect then everything start to work as expected at a much faster speed: network drives open with a blink of an eye, ODBC Connections are resolved immediately and virtual machines are launched istantly.
Infat now the Ipconfig looks different with respect to the first cabled connection when I switched on the PC: the Ethernet 3 does not have the IPv6 and Temporary IPv6 Addresses and it mirrors the settings of the Wireless LAN Adapter seen just above.
I really need your help to sort this issue out because it is very frustrating: each morning I need to connect with Lan Cable, then disconnect it, switch on WiFi, wait for GlobalProtect to connect, then switch off WiFi and finally connect LAN Cable again.
1. Can you try to disable IPv6 binding on your OS? In windows run ncpa.cpl, right click & properties of 'PANGP virtual Ethernet adapter' (or Ethernet 3) and unselect IPv6 binding. This should completely remove IPv6. Reboot and test.
In your Globalprotect portal configuration, 'Resolve All FQDNs Using DNS Servers Assigned by the Tunnel (Windows Only)' option if set to 'Yes' - will enforce the client machine to resolve all the DNS queries through the tunnel.
If set to 'No'. This allows Windows endpoints to send DNS queries to the DNS server set on the physical adapter if the initial query to the DNS server configured on the gateway is not resolved. This option retains the native Windows behavior to query all DNS servers on all adapters recursively but can result in long wait times to resolve some DNS queries.
The first item is on your workstation and can be tested locally but the second item could potentially affect all users. I think your IT can see if this is the cause of your issues by nslookup commands on your workstation in ETH/WiFi mode. In addition - check the firewall logs to see if and where your IPv6 packets go
