This is a repeat post also posted in the Broadband section, appologies in advance if this is not allowed! I figured this may be a better section to get the exact answer I need. I have a home server (WHS v1) and a CCTV system and one or both require me to set the Modem to "Bridging Mode". So..... 1) Can anyone post a step…

I have a home server (WHS v1) and a CCTV system and one or both require me to set the Modem to "Bridging Mode". So.....

1) Can anyone post a step by step guide for setting the eircom router into bridging mode? I have the newer supplied Xytel modem. Server has 2 x NIC's Also Will it matter if or where I plug in the Server and the CCTV Recorder? ADSL Modem, Router or Switch. I allso assume that the ADSL Router will be the DHCP, is this correct?

2) Secondly I have from old a DIR-855 dual band Router and I was thinking of getting a straight forward ADSL Modem and connecting the DIR-855 to it (via the WAN port) thus using the DIR-855 dual band N flavoured Wifi. Any recomentdations for a DSL Modem. If I did this option and still required the "Bridge Mode" settings which would need to be set to Bridge mode, the Modem or the Router?

Thanks in advance.
