To bridge Networks in Microsoft Windows versions Vista and 7 (6.0.0 - 6.1.7600) you need to click on the bars on the bottom right corner, go to the 'Network and Sharing center' and then click 'Change Adapter Settings'. Next, you need to find the connections (wired and wireless) and highlight them both. Right click and select Bridge connections. Note - Not all computers allow bridging of Connections.
