post the results of a ipconfig /all from the host win7 pc for review. I suspect your ip addressing is wrong.
Problem bridging internet connection.
I am trying to bridge internet connection received from my laptop to my desktop with an ethernet cable. Both machines are running win 7.
When I try to connect to my local area connection on the desktop most of the time it fails and I'm left with 'Unidentified network' and no internet connection. Sometimes, rarely it does connect properly but I get a notification about there being an IP conflict in the network, but things work as they should.
When I diagnose the problem it tells me that "Local Area Connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration"
What should I do to fix this?

That looks good. What ip does the desktop have?
What firewall are you running on the host laptop? Check it so its not blocking access

When I look at ipconfig on the desktop its telling me that the ip is 192.168.2.10
from 2.10 can you ping 2.9?
from 2.10 can you pint 2.1?
if you do a tracert yahoo.com from a cmd prompt on 2.10 where does it fail?
