Gbridge and Gateway Metric?

[Tiberus]

Or it could be titled "Cannot connect to DNS"

I'll attempt to describe all of the different results and tiny failures that occur somewhere between the application, adapter, and internet.

Using Vista x64, with only the wireless internet and Gbridge adapters enabled. I have in the "Advanced Settings" dialogue box, the connections setup from top to bottom: Gbridge > Wireless Internet. Both devices are set to "Private Network" in Vista. Both are using automatic Metric, DHCP, etc. The Internet Settings are not set to use a proxy. The router is setup for port forwarding, and Gbridge is using the appropriate port.

Route Table at this point looks like this:

When I start the Gbridge application, it does nothing. I right-click on the icon and select "Restart Gbridge" and it displays the "Prepare to launch" dialoge box, closes the dialogue box, and does nothing.

Now, I disable the Gbridge adapter. Gbridge starts, but displays "Cannot start SecureShare server at port 0..." because the adapter isn't online. Route table looks like this:

And for kicks, I enable the Gbridge Adapter again, the same problem occurs when I restart the Gbridge application. The route table is identical to the first one posted.

If it helps at all, Internet connection is lost when the Gbridge Adapter is enabled. If I try to Repair/Diagnose the connection, it reports "Cannot Communicate with DNS Server (10.239.255.254)".

That's about it. If Admin needs screenshots or more route/connection/packet info, I can post hastily.

Sorry for the trouble. Which vista64 version you are running? Which Gbridge version you are running? Has Gbridge ever worked on your vista64 box? Thanks for your time trying Gbridge!

It actually did work for a while on Vista x64 SP1. SecureShare browsing functioned and file transfers worked, but I should have been keeping better logs what changes I was doing to the system at the time.

I've installed and have tried running Gbridge builds 1146, 1177, and currently running 1180. Probably one of the 116x builds as well, but I can't recall the version because it was installed via the update option, and, it was sometime after install the 116x build that it stopped working.

No clue :-( Please uninstall and reinstall latest gbridge and retry. Sorry for the inconvenience.
