Hello all, I have been fiddling with bridging the connections in windows 7 i was wondering how to make it my own little private network so i could use private ip addresses between the logical adapters?

If you bridge two adapters in Windows 7, your Windows places both of these adapters on the same network segment and bridges traffic between the two adapters, very similiar to a network switch. If you can to create a private network on one adapter, bridging is probably not the solution you should be looking into to. If you have two adapters each on thier own segment, traffic would remain seperated. If you want to allow the "private" network to access the "public" network then you could enable Internet Connection Sharing on the Windows 7 computer. This will enable Network Address Translation (NAT) on that system and allow traffic from the private to pass onto the pubic, but not the other way around, keeping the private network firewalled, private, etc...
