You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure. 

You can also remove a network connection from the network bridge if you open the Network Connections folder and, under Network Bridge, right-click the adapter that you want to remove, and then click Remove from Network Bridge.

If you remove adapters from the network bridge, and less than two adapters remain, the network bridge will not perform its intended function, but will continue to use system resources.

Internet Connection Sharing, Internet Connection Firewall, Discovery and Control, and Network Bridge are not available on Windows XP 64-Bit Edition.
