I am using windows on a mac computer. I would like to use the windows brdiged network adapter setting. However, when I do that I lose wifi connectivity on the mac side. From whtat I have been able to determine, I need the router to be set up for passive client. The router manual talks about setting up the router in bridged mode using a second router. As I uderstand it, this is the same as passive client. However, this doesn't seem to apply to my situation.
I am novice when it comes to router configuation. I have no idea how to make whatever changes are necessary to make the bridged mode work on this router for my application.
The bridged network setting has worked in the past without causing a problem on the mac side. Some settings have apparently been changed but I have no idea what those setting might be. Here is the description of the way that the bridged network is supposed to work:
Bridged Network
When this network mode is used, your virtual machine uses avirtualized network interfacecard with direct access to Internet. As a result:
A virtual machine appears as a separate computer that belongs to the same subnet as the Mac it is running on.
A DHCP server (e.g., your router) provides a virtual machine with an IP address within the same IP range as other computers in the same subnet.
A virtual machine can ping and see all computers in the subnet.
Other computers can ping and see the virtual machine.
