Disable that network bridge- it may be causing a problem.
You should type in 192.168.0.1 in your Web browser, and it should take you to the router GUI (The Web-based interface). Not sure what the username and password would be. Connection is not your issue.
Also, try sharing a file, or your C: drive. You have to share these items, and allow network users to change your files. This will set the permissions for the folder, then you should be able to see the other computer in My Network Places.
