I don't think so, bridging is where you relay networks. For example
you bridge one wireless router to another in order to extend your range.

I have used this to connect to a WAN = cable modem on one NIC and my
LAN on another NIC in Win2k. In this way I used my Server as a router.
However, I once tried to setup my onboard Gb NiC to another
motherboard with a onboard Gb NIC, and then use a PCI NIC for my LAN
through a Netgear router, using different IP addresses, but I could
never get it to work. Everybody said it should work but nobody could
tell me how to do it.... in any way that worked. My goal was to avoid
buying a GB switch which at that time were rare and pretty expensive.
Eventually I gave up and bought a SMC Gb switch.
