You need to set network as a bridge
I can only find info for bridging out on wifi....I don't know if you can figure it out from that?

would think this is all i need:
rm -f /var/lib/dhcpcd/*.info
rm -f /var/run/*.pid
ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 up
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up
modprobe bridge
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 wlan0
brctl addif br0 eth0
however it just isnt working the bridge comes on.do i need to be putting ip numbers or something where the zeros are? example ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.11up
because all i did was paste those two codes in the terminal as is.and sure the results give me the bridge choice in wizard.but then i click dhcp.all is fine.i plug in my router and loose internet.
btw my dchp on the router is turned off.

That looks cool
I note the importance of NOT using puppy's firewall wizard...that's a common stumbling block with 2 interfaces...
well done!
