W10 Network Bridge Access

[richh1833]

Hey everyone. Been running into an issue today. I have two Gb ports on my desktop. I've bridged them so I could run my NAS through my desktop to the router. Everything is fine - Everyone can connect to the NAS except the desktop that is running the bridge. I can see the NAS in Windows Networks but it errors out 'the network path was not found'. Given that the NAS is accessible by everyone except me suggests that there is something going on in W10 that is preventing me from accessing. And I think this isn't limited to the NAS. I can't access any other network devices while in bridge mode. I can confirm that we're all on the same subnet and everything is pingable but just not accessible.

Any ideas? Thanks

The only idea I have is to buy a 5 or 8 port network switch (whatever is a good buy). There are a lot of them out there and would be the best way to connect your system.
