It depends on which 4200 that you have (the 5200 can be setup either way, but the Bridge/Router Mode under Section A is considered the best since it does not require a reset later):

[A] The older/original 4200 and all 5200 versions. Follow the steps in the FAQ link below:

»Efficient Networks Forum FAQ »How do I change into Bridged Mode on the 4100/4200?

[B] The new "Walled Garden" 4200 (Firmware Part #:004-D241-A83) that stores your Username/Password remotely. You have to change it manually into Bridge Mode using the page link below to the 4200 Web GUI as the earlier reset procedure no longer works.

»192.168.254.254/brgmode.htm

There is no need in either case to have to alter the settings in the 4200/5200 for the WAN Virtual Circuit settings as the Modem is by default a Bridge-Router.
