Ok, I can accept that based on you greater knowledge, but what's in a
name? I want to connect a wide area network to a local area network but
a network bridge wont work? The procedure for doing it was well written
and quite clear so I thought I would try that.
A bridge is for directly connecting multiple interfaces. One example is
if you want your virtual machine to be directly accessible on the
network. Another is in a wifi router, there's usually a bridge between
the wifi interface and the ethernet interface.
I guess you are saying that I should use NAT? I will continue googling
for a procedure for doing that,
Yes, NAT is probably what you want. That hides a private network behind
a single external IP address. However, I don't understand why you're
doing this on your computer. This is something that is used on a
firewall/gateway system.
