To unbridge the connection, just press the context menu while pointing to
one of the bridged connections, and choose remove this bridge.

You want to make sure you bridge with the connection you mean to use. And,
if you decide to change the network you bridge with, you probably should
delete the bridge you've already set up.

Thanks Chase. I'll try to do this again a little later in the evening.
I'm wondering though if the fact that the laptop is connected to the
Internet via the sprint wireless aircard is hampering the connection bridge,
as after windows connected the levelstar land link I briefly saw some
message indicating that my local area network would not be strong enough for
Internet connection. I'm wondering if I'd have better luck were my computer
connected via dsl.

Marta:
First, the connection would not be the Levelstar land link. It is
called local area connection 2 or 3. Also, in the control panel/network
connections, you press space on one connection, and then hold down the
control key while you arrow around. When you find the other connection,
press space, after you let go of the control key. Then the bridge
connections item will be in the context menu. If that still doesn't work,
something is wrong, but I'm not sure what.

Thank you Chase. I installed the usb drivers on the laptop, and when I
connected the braille plus to the machine via the usb, I turned off
wireless, pressed select button at the usb connection, followed the
instructions of the windows hardware wizard to install the levelstar land
link, (which does not appear on the network list even though I got a message
saying the installation was complete, and followed the instructions you
ofered about opening the control panel, selecting network connection,
highlighting the internet connection that I wanted, and pressing the context
menu key. The bridge connections option does not appear.

Subject: [icon-discuss] bridging the braille plus and my pc
Hello:
I'm trying to bridge my braille plus to the laptop via the usb
connection and I get a message saying the connection failed. I installed
all of the software on the program cd in the computer. What am I doing
wrong?
