Computer Network Bridge

[dpeterson3]

Hopefully there is a network Guru out there who can help me with this.

Most of our laptops can not get on the school network because most of us do not go to the school(inter-school team). We have one laptop for us to share which doesn't work well. I hooked it up to the WAN on out Team Router to the LAN card on the laptop to and bridge the connection with the wireless card on the laptop. That way, the rest of us could access the internet. The bridge didn't seem to work, though. Both cards stopped working. I am no networking expert, but I am guessing it has something to do with the computers domain policy so that it can not act as a server for the router. Is there any way to turn off the domain policy on the LAN controller so I can create the bridge if this is even the problem?
