Very straight forward, so heres a handy guide.

is this wireless/or can i use it for ethernet, my operating system is win7,

Lets say you want to connect a xbox360 to the laptops ethernet port and use the wifi on the laptop.
Simply click the ethernet connection (usually local connection 1) now press ctrl and click the wifi connection both will now be highlighted, then right click and click bridge connections.
Once this is done hook up an ethernet cable to the ethernet port on the lapop and connect other end to the xbox 360/ps3/laptop or whatever it is your connecting to.

Think you will need to disable the uk connection (that you bridged as in the above posts)
Then set up your new conection in france and bridge your lan port with that(as in the same steps above that you did in the uk) -
thanks for ur help bigcheeks, really appreciate ur help,
-
just wondering tricky did it work for you lad
-
i disconnected the bridge, and its taken 2hours to get back on line

iv also tried changing the ip addy of the location here in spain, its a weird ip. 83.35.243.111. but still no joy,

dont understand why it says,
windows cant discoverany computer or devices??????/ -
France, Spain, What equipment are you using, did the ISP in France/Spain supply a router, what protocols do they use, what have your tried, more informative your post, faster you will get help.
All to vague to give any type of help tbh.
