Hello!In the past few days I tried several times with several methods to bridge two connections on my Dell Optiplex 380,between a Huawei e3372 USB 4G dongle and ethernet.It does not work.I have tried Internet connection sharing too,but ended up with loss of connectivity on both devices.I tried this on a Windows 10 Pro 22H2.Any solution or conclusion is appreciated!Thank you in advance!

    Hello and I want to thank you for your support!

    The cause of this problem was the software/firmware on the 4g USB modem itself I guess.It was a carrier locked modem with custom software.After I got hold of a new USB modem,the same make and model but unlocked and with the original version of software,everything worked seamlessly.

    Thank you again for your time!

    Best regards!
