The DSL "modem" they supplied us came with NAT and DHCP as the default set up, just as you need to share the connection on your LAN through a hub or router, and they expected customers would be doing that. The written instructions to work with the "modem" covered setup of Mac OS 9 and X and various flavors of Windows. Later, when I got a wireless router, they reconfigured their end and walked me through switching the DSL "modem" to bridge mode to use the new router for DHCP and NAT. That last step required a PC to conncect to the "modem" serial port to tell the it to switch modes.
Say what? You mean they couldn't be bothered to push a config file to your modem that enabled bridge modm? *smirk*
