Bridging a wireless 802.11b network with a wired ethernet network using Windows XP

The computer running Windows XP in the middle diagram acts as a network bridge.  It has both a wired ethernet adapter and an 802.11b wireless adapter.  Windows XP was set up using the Media Bridge services .  Because of the bridge, the wireless PC appears to be on the same network as the traditional ethernet PC's.  They may communicate back and forth with each other freely.
