To create a bridge between the two connections, click on the wireless network adapter icon. Now press the Ctrl key and keep it pressed till you select the ethernet adapter icon. Once both the WiFI adapter and the Ethernet are chosen, make a right-click on any of the icons. A context menu will appear. Here, select the Bridge Connections option.

You may be required to enter your “Admin” password. If you are the only user, this is your password to launch Windows.

MacOS

• Open System Prefences > Sharing
