[lug] router in bridge mode

[Sexton, George]

In bridge mode, the router has no IP address. It's just a media converter to
ethernet.

For example, I run my Cisco 675 in bridge mode. The router has no IP. My
linux router has two NICs. The 675 connects to one, and the network to the
other. To the world, the Cisco 675 doesn't exist.

Forwarding a question that's a bit beyond my ken - any thoughts are
appreciated:

 techie question - if an ISP says they're going to set your SDSL router up
in
"bridge" mode with 1 or 2 IP addresses, what does that mean? Is it still a
router that can share the connection with as many computers as you hub in?

Personally I still don't have a home network set up because I'm trying to
get
it sorted - too much hands-on hardware :)

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
