Some older routers (don't know about newer ones) have a bug in that when they try to assign an IP to a device "behind a bridge" they assign the same IP as the bridged computer already has--results, of course, in duplicate IP and at least one (usually the device behind the bridge) does not work. If this is happening an attempted fix is to update the router's firmware (if available). A workaround is to assign static IP configurations to the devices behind the bridge.

If you try the bridge again be sure to disable ICS, make sure the ethernet has reverted to 'obtain IP auto' and then bridge the connections.

Okay so, this kinda helped. First I turned off the ICS and remade the bridge. DHCP still wasnt working so I manually did my LA-SERVER to 192.168.1.20 with a gateway of 192.168.1.1 and same with DNS. The bridge was 192.168.1.5. The LA-Server could ping the router but not the bridge? Even though the bridge could ping it. When I did tracert it said is was tracing 192.168.1.5 LA-SERVER? But thats not right because 192.168.1.20 is LA-Server? Clicking repair and having it refresh dns cache had no affect. The whole time the bridge 192.168.1.5 could ping LA-SERVER 192.168.1.20 but not the other way around. The fix was setting every thing on the bridge to manual IP information and eveything is working fine =)
