Currently, I'm connected to our cable router through ethernet cable as well as a netgear wireless adapter...Why? Well i intially had the cable and we just recently got wireless so i threw it in my USB slot and installed it...is there anyway to "bridge" these two connections? Any advantages to doing so? I fooled around with the windows "bridging" connections thing, but it doesnt work, meaning it actually stops either connection from working.

look up the definition of bridging connections in windows - it's not what you think

you will see no benefit of accomplishing what you are trying to do - you can max out your cable modem connection with just your ethernet line easy enough

you can see gain if you were able to load balance a wireless connection from a neighbor with your ethernet connection - i don't think you should attempt this b/c it will just cause you more problems

bridging connections allows you to share one connection via the other

for example if you were plugged in through physical connection 1 you could broadcast that network on wireless connection two.
