Hi,

You are trying to do something more complicated than necessary (and then doing it wrong, too).

Instead, try this:

1) Remove the static IP address and DNS settings from your wired network adapter and save the change.  Set it to acquire both automatically.

2) In your Network Connections folder, hold down control key and select both the wired and wireless connections.  Right click and choose "Bridge Connections".  It should look like this:



A new item named "Network Bridge" will appear.  Your wireless connection will disconnect during the process, but should reconnect just fine. 

I am not sure whether the bridge will retain your static IP settings from the wireless adapter.  If it doesn't, set it up the same way the wireless connection was configured previously.

3) Configure the network connection on your friend's computer identical to yours, except for different (and unused) IP address, such as 192.168.1.101.
