I was directed to this forum from the Insiders forum.

Yesterday I decided to try to use both LAN adapters on my Mobo. Using Microsoft Network Bridge to bridge the adapters. For some reason my IPV4 connection wouldn't work. Digging around I came across an oddity where on the network bridge, the DHCP Lease Obtained and DHCP Lease expires both showed a date of Wednesday December 31 1969 7pm. Since I created this bridge yesterday, 20 May 2024, Why did the Network Bridge show a date from 55 years ago?networkbridge

    Hello,

    As can be seen from the screenshot, the network bridge did not successfully obtain a valid IP address lease from the DHCP server, thus obtaining the wrong timestamp.
