Search for 'bridge'
To bridge connections
Open Network Connections.
Under LAN or High-Speed Internet select each of the
private network connections that you want to be part of
the bridge.
Right-click one of the highlighted private network
connections, and then click Bridge Connections.
Notes
To open Network Connections, click Start, click Control
Panel, and then double-click Network Connections.
You must be logged on as a computer administrator to
complete this procedure.
You must select at least two eligible network connections
in order for Bridge Connections to create a bridge.
Adapters that have Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) or
Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) enabled cannot be part
of the network bridge and will not appear on the Network
Bridge checklist. Similarly, the Add to Bridge menu
command is available only for adapters that you can add
as connections to Network Bridge.
Only Ethernet, IEEE-1394 adapters, or Ethernet compatible
adapters such as wireless and home phoneline adapters
(HPNA), can be part of the network bridge.
Do not create a bridge between the public Internet
connection and the private network connection, or add the
public Internet connection to an existing network bridge,
if you do not have ICF or Internet Connection Sharing
(ICS) enabled. To do so will create an unprotected link
between your network and the Internet, and your network
will be vulnerable to intrusions.
You can create only one network bridge on a computer, but
the bridge can accommodate any number of network
connections.
You cannot create a bridge connection on a computer
running Windows 2000 or earlier versions of Windows.
If you remove adapters from the network bridge, and less
than two adapters remain, Network Bridge will not perform
its intended function, but it will continue to use system
resources.
Network adapters that previously appeared under LAN or
High-Speed Internet, appear under Network Bridge when
they are added as connections. Network adapters that
provide Internet connectivity, such as DSL and cable
modems, cannot be bridged and will always appear under
LAN or High-Speed Internet.
Network bridges with wireless or IEEE-1394 connections
support traffic using Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4)
only.
Note
Internet Connection Sharing, Internet Connection
Firewall, Discovery and Control, and Network Bridge are
not available on Windows XP 64-Bit Edition.

think of an island and a piece of close...
put a bridge between them. now they are connected right?
cars can come and go from the island/land.
isnt that cool?
so now think of the island and the land as 2 networks.
if you bridge them you are connecting 2 networks. for
better and easier flux of traffic.
i hope it explained what a bridge is.
