First, right-click and delete the Network Bridge. Then verify that
the laptop with the wireless network connection can connect to the
ADSL router and access the Internet.

After that's working, here are two possible solutions:

1. Re-create the Network Bridge. If things still don't work, follow
the steps shown here:

or:

2. Forget the Network Bridge, and enable Internet Connection Sharing
on the wireless network connection. If it asks what to use for the
home network connection, tell it to use the LAN connection to the
other computer.
