How do you make a bridge between two connections?

I've done this:

• Created a wireless network via the network manager.
• I have internet through a wire.

I want create a wireless network and share my internet access that I get from a wire. @TheX told me that I have to bridge the two connections but I don't know how to.

the setup I want is this:

• Sharing connections through the wireless
• getting internet through a wire

@TheX gave me a link that might work.

I need to connect eth0 with wlan0

Has anyone got this to work in 11.10?

Solution 1:

If you're using Ubuntu Desktop, then it's really simple. Click the network icon at the to right of your screen. Select "Create new wireless network". Give the network a name, choose an encryption type (wep, wpa, etc) and make a password. Click "create" and that should be it. You can now connect to the wireless network from other computers and the wired connection should be shared with the wireless network you just created. :)
