Neither 2Wire nor your ISP will provide technical support for bridge mode. The first thing they will have you do is remove it from bridge mode should you contact them for help. Placing a 2Wire unit into bridge mode disables all routing functions (PPPoE, NAT, DHCP, etc.) Bridge Mode = Disabled Routing When in Bridge mode, you must do your PPPoE authentication (if required by your ISP) either with hardware (another router) or in software (XP's built in Mini-port WAN or another software program), otherwise you will not establish a connection. Before clicking submit on the configure services page READ ALL THE WARNINGS on that page so you are aware of how to get back in to the 2Wire after you have disabled routing! Prior to firmware version 3.7 - If using firmware version 3.7 or higher you will need to Disable PVC Search and manually enter appropriate PVC info e.g. VPI 0 and VCI 35.
To remove from bridge mode Statically assign default IP scheme to your client computer so it can talk to the 2Wire: (You did read the warnings on the Configure Services page right?) Go to »homeportal/management Or at »homeportal/management Feedback received on this FAQ entry:
