Unexpected error set up network bridge

I am trying to install a network bridge on my system XP Pro HTPC for me to connect my Sony Blu - Ray player (which has an ethernet connection) to my HTPC and so my home network DHCP via an unused on the HTPC NIC port (since I have only a single network drop in the room, I need two devices to share the same ethernet cable). 2 network cards are PCI Intel 1000GT card and a built-in 10/100 SiS card when you try to create the bridge by choosing two connections, right-clicking and choosing "Bridge connections" in the context menu, I get the error described in the title.

I have already taken all the measures mentioned in the Microsoft gateway configuration guide and checked that the firewall and ICS are disabled on both connections (I've never used either feature, anyway, I have a Linksys router in my wiring closet to share my internet connection). I have reset the stack TCP/IP and Winsock. I reinstalled the drivers on the two network cards and I even made a regeneration of WMI (based on a tip on another site) - but without success. Someone at - it other ideas on what could be the cause?

I guess I could buy a cheap hub/switch to share the line - but why do that when I can myself worse with such a simple solution? :)

Hi Rnshamilton,

Thanks for posting. Just a few questions before I can get you a good answer.

First, what type of blu - ray are you trying to bridge the XP machine? In addition, the device requires communication to the internet, or simply the packets passing between himself and the XP machine?

You have all the other computers on the network who are renting your router DHCP IP addresses? It is possible to hang another PC in the room to test the bridge? Are you doing that would tell us if there is a problem with the bridge configuration, or if there is an incompatibility or setting on the Blu - Ray player that needs to be changed.

I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

    1 uninstalled the kaspersky anti-virus.

    2 uninstalled VMware Player.

    3 reboot the system.

  • I have an Airport Express, which gives an unexpected error message when you try to connect to an existing network of WEP.  Any ideas.  Tried the factory returned. He was knocked offline when someone dug into the telco cables.

    I have an Airport Express, which gives an unexpected error message when you try to connect to a router WEP (Verizon) existing iOS9.3.2

    It flashes orange, but can not be reconnected to the router or to the title of the Setup Assistant or Airport utility.  Is there a way to reconnect to WIFI or should I bite the bullet and connect via Cat5e and be done with it.  My VPN works much better without AirPort Express connected.

    Sorry, but there is no WEP settings AirPort Utility on the iPhone or iPad, or any Mac version of AirPort Utility which was used for the last 4 years or so.

    If you have an older Mac still running AirPort 5.x utility or a PC with the AirPort for Windows utility installed on the device, the WEP settings that could be used to get the Express to connect to a WEP network there.

    As you know, WEP has not been secured for a number of years, and there are any number of free utilities available on the Internet, which is crack a WEP network in a few seconds. Thus, all those who want to be on your network will not have problems to do very quickly.

    But it's your call.

  • Windows cannot find any additional network / an unexpected error has occurred

    I got this new PC Windows Vista Home Edition x 64 SP2 and I need to connect it to the network wireless in my house because that the router Netgear DG834GT wireless broadband is not very conveniently placed for wired connectivity. I have a Netgear WG111T USB wireless adapter which works fine on my other PC / laptop (XP & Vista, both 32-bit), but I can't make it work on my Vista x 64 PC.

    I have installed the version of the driver 2.1.0.26 x 64-compatible for the WG111T and the device works correctly, according to Device Manager.

    When I try to 'connect', I get 'Windows cannot find any additional network . " While the other PC at home can pick up 3 wireless networks.

    Go until the network & sharing Center, then manage the networks without wire, then Add, then manually create a network profile, I get "unexpected error ."

    I spoke to Netgear who insist the player WG111T is compatible with the x 64 visits.

    I talked to my PC provider who suggested to try the adapter on another PC Vista x 64 to see if it works there. Problem is, I don't know anyone else with a Vista x 64 PC.

    I would be extremely grateful if someone can help me before on this one. Thanks in advance for all advice.

  • VPN connection: An unexpected error has occurred.

    I am suddenly unable to get my built-in VPN connection works on my iMac with OS X 10.11.5.  I get the VPN connection message: an unexpected error has occurred.  I have been using this VPN configuration to connect to work for several months with success.

    But last week (and I do not know if it had nothing to do with it), I went on vacation and used a free wi - fi setup of Tim Hortons.  I had a LOT of trouble getting the next login page, and I checked all playing with different settings of network without success.  When a change did not work, I put it to its original setting.  Finally, I learned to use Safari to access the free WiFi connection page of Tim.  Then once connected, everything was OK.

    But when I returned a week later and if necessary, to start my VPN connection to access the work, it wouldn't start.  I checked and recheck all my settings preferably of different network, but did not find those who were wrong.  I even deleted and re-entered my VPN service definition without solving the problem.

    Thinking that the problem could be the newly installed ISP of Bell equipment (we went from Rogers while I was away), I used my BlackBerry smartphone (issued by my employer) to create a wi - fi hotspot and accessed to the internet using this connection which completely ignored my home ISP equipment.  But still, I was unable to establish a VPN connection.

    I then tried my iPad VPN connection, and it worked!  Then, I defined a VPN service on the iMac to my wife and the iMac to my daughter and was able to successfully establish a VPN connection to my work very well, using exactly the same VPN configuration.  This led me to the conclusion, it was a problem on my iMac (and not with my new ISP or VPN system of my work that had none of the changes you made), but I still can't find what is "broken".  I run Onyx for my iMac OS X 10.11.5 and repaired permissions and clean the cache and all the rest she is doing to "solve" problems.  But the problem persisted.

    Is there a preference file corrupted somewhere (scan option is no longer on the current version of the Onyx for a reason any)?

    I still have a network setting wrong somewhere I need to go back to the system is correct value?

    Here is the attempt to VPN from the file system.log (with some hidden values in the case where they display my work VPN access):

    I finally found my VPN problem.

    There is a 'racoon' file that is generated when I connect to the VPN to my work site.

    I have created a modified version of this file so that my connection does not expire in 3600 seconds (changed in 24 hours).

    Apparently, there are some slightly different settings (such as certain IP addresses other than VPN IP of my work) in this file under our new ISP Bell from the former FAI Rogers.

    And if I connect to the WiFi Hotspot from my BlackBerry, it does not once again because these settings in the file are different again.  I must return the file generated instead of my modified file.

    Bad luck!

  • The network bridge.

    I am trying to remove the bridge on my network, but it is always with the same error: an unexpected error occurred while configuring the network bridge. and when I try and fill the connections with a new bridge, it comes up with this: to create a network bridge, you must select at least two network connections local or Internet at high speed that are not being used by Internet connection sharing.  so I really need help on this. I want a little play xbox live again very soon...

    trapanrot,
    Give us a little more information on exactly what it is you are trying to do.  Your first sentence said that you try to remove the network bridge, but then later in your post, it seems you are trying to create a network bridge.  You try to remove an old bridge and create a new and if so, why - some hardware has changed in your system?  You said you want to play xbox live again, you try to create a bridge to connect to your xbox and if so he worked before?  A little more information about your computer type, network devices and how it is configured all help us to help you solve this problem.

    When you run the Test Xbox LIVE connection, tests network status displays "Failed" (NXE)

  • Error message "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error" after starting the system on Windows 7 Recovery.

    While trying to reinstall Windows 7 on my Dell Inspiron 1545 of the reinstall DVD after you have installed a hard drive again, I got this message: error message "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error" after starting the system on Windows 7 Recovery. Tried F10, SHIFT F10 and nothing happened. Then I tried a suggestion of virtual Agent to press F8 to get to advance Boot Options, but this option does not appear! Help!

    For Dell cptrs, you will need to press F12 to access the unique Boot Order Menu(= a temporary setting), little after the Dell logo appears on the desktop. U hv only 5 seconds to do, b4 the cptr will automatically initialize to top with the internal HARD disk.

    ....... F12 is usually used to start the cptr since the DVD player or a plugged in USB-flash drive with a Win 7 install or recovery media.

    To permanently change the boot order, you must similarly press F2 to access the full Boot configuration Menu. The default boot device is the internal HARD drive, but this can be changed to DVD player, USB, disk, network drive, etc. F2 is usually used to start the cptr of an external hard drive(= USB HDD) that contains a bootable Linux operating system.

  • An unexpected error

    I have an Airport Extreme Capsule 2 T.  It works fine, but it is not visible on the network.  It will work as a pass for internet connection. It does not have a wireless signal, but I can not in it to reset the password.  I tried the soft reset, but nothing seemed to happen.  I tried the hard reset, but that requires a password. I asked the airport utility to open it, but it says unexpected error try again. Not very useful. I have turn off everything on the network and restarted everything.  That has not changed anything. I'm running the Capitan 10.11.5 Airport utility is version 6.3.6.  Airport Time Capsule needs a firmware update, but I can't do this because I can not enter the Airport utility program.

    I have an Airport Extreme Capsule 2 T.

    What exact model is your Time Capsule (TC)? The first TC which offered a 2 TB drive is the 2nd generation model: A1302.

    It works fine, but it is not visible on the network.

    I assume you mean that it is "not found" using AirPort Utility, but it can be found by customers of the wireless network to connect to... correct?

    Airport Time Capsule needs a firmware update, but I can't do this because I can not enter the Airport utility program.

    AirPort Utility also uses Hello (aka, mDNS) & IPv6 to 'find' an AirPort base station.

    When access to a base station with this utility, try the following in order, accessibility with the utility check after each step:

    • Check the local connection. If you try to access the wireless base station, make sure that your Mac or iOS device is connected to this wireless network.
    • If you are still unable to access, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
    • The base station power cycle. Remove the power branch of the socket adapter and then wait 15 seconds before plugging it back it.
    • Make sure that the base station and your computer are configured for IPv6 link-local only.
    • Perform a ' default ' reset on the base station.
  • Apple Time Capsule "unexpected error".

    I did have slow speeds on my network lately and checked with Comcast to see if it was their end. They assured me that it wasn't, so I decided to do a reset on my router from Apple and see if that helped. I did a full factory reset with plans to start over. Now however I am not able to configure my Airport.

    I tried on my iPhone, iPad and Mac. All devices are completely up-to-date. IPad and iPhone, I can only find the configuration in the menu wifi, airport did not appear to me in the iOS version of airport road. On Mac, I find the time Capsule Airport Airport utility (under "other Wifi devices") and can scroll through the complete Assembly (name, password, etc.), but when it happens at the end it begins "Looking for"(insert network name)"" and times out after 4 minutes with "unexpected error. Please Try Again ".

    The strange thing is before I try to configure the router I can see in my WiFi menu and I am able to use the internet very well, but it is not guaranteed and not configured.

    I have tried what seems like all combinations of the implementation without success. Time Capsule airport had a recent firmware update probably two months ago. Not sure if this affects what it is.

    Search for answers until I try to buy a new router. But it doesn't seem like the Time Capsule is broken, just something odd current. I already used this same configuration for more than 9 months with little or no question. I feel like I tried something! Would like answers. He likes guys.

    Data sheet:

    Time Capsule 1 TB Model #A1355

    Modem: ARRIS DOCSIS 3.0 SB6141 SURFboard

    MacBook Pro with El Capitan

    iPad 2 Air with iOS10

    iPhone 6 s with last iOS9

    Example of installation.

    When everything has failed, you can configure the Capsule manually without having to use configuration of 'sorcerer' Apple...... but the process can be a bit complicated.

    Need to connect your MacBook Pro to the time Capsule using an Ethernet cable for installation. If your MacBook Pro doesn't have an Ethernet port, you will need to use an adapter Thunderbolt to Ethernet... one point really handy to have around, if you have not already. More info here:

    Maid in Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple

    Please advise on the possibility of trying to use Ethernet for configuration... and whether or not you are able to use this option.  No guarantee that it will work for you, but it has worked for me several times during the normal installation translates into repeated errors.

  • Time capsule, an unexpected error has occurred

    Hello everyone, I am having trouble with my Time Machine for a month or two. He was unable to make a back-up, even if the light was green all the time. Now, today I tried to set up again as before, but each time an EEG this message: an unexpected error has occurred. Try again.

    I did: a hard reset, soft reset and close my modem with every single device connected to it.

    I use a 2011 Macbook Air (on OSX El Capitan) and the fourth generation time Capsule.

    Thanks in advance.

    You have an adapter Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet for the MacBook Air?

    If so, you can use that to set up a wired connection to the Mac to one of the three LAN <>- ports on the time Capsule to see if a direct connection work better than wireless to try to set up the Capsule time again.

    If you do not have this card, you should really consider to buy one, because it will be useful when you want to have a wired connection much more quickly from your Mac to the time Capsule.

    If you do not have the card, or do not have one, then we can try to change a setting on your Mac to see if it can help with connection problems. After the back if you want to try this.
