Bridged network just wont work

So i have a bit of a weird network setup that means one PC the first PC give the second PC an internet connection and the second pc gives the first one a LAN connection. one run a server system based on Linux that only understand ethernet the other now just switch to arch from Kubuntu when it was running Kubuntu I was able to configure the wifi to pick up the internet and LAN port to send that on from the second PC just using the network connection app, so running KDE on arch went to sent like before but the LAN just refuses content so I gave a bit of a google found stuff on the wiki about bridging connections follow it through and still the LAN is just refusing to connect found some another wiki page on sharing connection tried that and still no luck 90% sure my network settings are bricked now.

Also was wondering could be down to Kubuntu have more package install than I do right now on arch I did a very minimal install on arch just install plasma-desktop and the odd KDE app that I use which is one of the reasons I love arch so much, it does not come with junk I will never use

Whoa, put some punctuation in to your post. That's 2 giant sentences that are impossible to make sense of. Add a diagram if you can too to help explain your set up.

Arch is on the system with the wireless internet connection and a second wired connection that you want to share internet access over?
The wired connection will also be a client for services from another system on the wired network? Does the other box need the arch box to supply DHCP etc?

Normally this kind of setup would be done using routing rather than bridging (so the wifi network would be on a different IP range to the wired; eg 192.168.1.0/24 wifi and 192.168.2.0/24 wired).
