Even working as a plain ethernet bridge, an ADSL modem usually has an IP stack for management purpose. Also a bridge does not speak PPP, it just lets PPPoE (an other ethernet) frames through like a switch does. > To get to the Internet via the modem the > other systems would need to speak PPP. A bridge connects the LAN to "the outside". That outside may not be the public internet, but it is something out of your control. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
