Great forum BTW, lots of interesting posts.

I suppose my post is half networky, half 585 and a whole lot of noob.

I was looking at the Thomson PDFs and found a section on setting up multiple bridges on different physical eth ports and I was wondering if this would solve my dilemma.

I want to set the 585 up in bridge mode with an Untangle Linux box bringing up the PPPoE connection but I'd also like to dangle a netgear router off one of the other physical eth ports in bridge mode to form a seperate wireless network with the netgear router doing it's DHCP and NAT thing separately.

Now I know classically when a router is in bridge mode it's slaved to one connection but I'm curious about this 'Multi Bridge Mode'.

Sorry, should have mentioned that my 585v7 is unlocked.

I've tried progressing with some CLI setup using the Thomson literature and this info... http://adsl2forum.co.uk/showpost.php...4&postcount=76

I suppose my first question is am I barking up the wrong tree here?

Also, being a bit of a router noob, the addr for the pvc_Internet connection is 0.38 (UK, right?) if I set-up another bridge, will it have to have this ATM address also, so traffic can get to and from my ISP? ]]> bry909 http://www.adsl2forum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=11232 http://www.adsl2forum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=11229&goto=newpost Tue, 17 Aug 2010 10:47:18 GMT Hi there.

I just switched to O2 from BE Unlimited and was wondering how to put the Wireless Box III into bridge mode? I used the built-in templates on my BE box, but I cannot even telnet in (don't know the password) to my O2 Wireless Box.

Thanks in advance for any help. ]]> sgreszcz http://www.adsl2forum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=11229 http://www.adsl2forum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=11228&goto=newpost Thu, 12 Aug 2010 14:33:59 GMT Hi, My ISP uses Bridging and Routing mode (no login required, not PPPOE nor PPPOA), and I want to use my Speedtouch 780WL (o2 box based on the one below). It is currently running 6.2.29.2, and the seller claims that the unit is unlocked. True enough, the unit seems to be unlocked (generic branding, and I can select bridge mode when I click on Setup). This bridge mode works (I can get Public IP from it), but only to one computer. The other PCs get an IP from the DHCP of the unit, and has no internet. I tried fiddling around with telnet, but was lost in the depth of technicals.. lol. I purchased this thinking that I could utilize the VOIP. Bought this off ebay for $33...
