This is the procedure that works for me.

Doc I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I must tell you that your instructions were right on...I've been trying to bridge my 4200 ever since I upgraded to 6 meg DSL by hitting the reset button and my GL would never connect...your instruction was the way I was able to let my GL do the routing. Thanks :D

After setting the modem to a bridge mode, did you try if the username and password from your ISP (Bell) work? (This can be tested by connecting your computer directly to the modem then set up a connection manager. The connection manager would be the dialler for you to connect to the Internet, you will enter the username and password from your ISP. Once connected, try if you can access the Internet).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20532657 Sat, 24 May 2008 04:51:53 EDT Re: Speedstream 4200 problem - bridge mode http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20487461 anon : Here are the answers to your questions:

#1 I did not, but I will.

#2 The Linksys WRT54G.

Because, if it is disconnected, then you will need to click the connect button first.

By the way,

- what's the model number of the router?
- how do you connect to the Internet when your computer is connected to the modem, do you enter your username and password from Bell Sympatico?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20464463 Sun, 11 May 2008 07:43:02 EDT Speedstream 4200 problem - bridge mode http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20458542 anon : I tried to follow »Bell Canada Internet FAQ

After bridging the modem I configured my Linksys for PPPoE, but for some reason I could not connect to the net.

I even tried to turn off the power to both routers for five minutes and then turning back on the power. There was no difference.

Please help.

Thanks]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20458542 Fri, 09 May 2008 18:30:49 EDT
