MAC Bridge Miniport?
my Mac bridge miniport seems to be causing me to have difficulties in
connecting to my home and office network and to the net.... for example, at the office, if i want to have access to both the net and the network, i need to have my 1394 connection disactivated and both the mac bridge miniport and the lan connection activated... if i disactivate both the 1394 and mac bridge, i'll only be able to connect to the net and not the network!!!!???? now, when i get back home, to have access to both my network and the net, i need to have both the 1394 and the mac bridge disactivated to connect... if the mac bridge is activate, i might get the network but won't get the net... can anyone help me rectify this problem so that i don't have to keep modifying my connections between my office and my home... do i need the mac bridge anyway??? thx for any help.... |

And if you do, you can always add it again. 2. to remove it, i go to device manager, find it in my networkcards, and uninstall it? There's more than one way to remove it, but they're all easy enough. Just try. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |
