Hi Brian,

I quickly looked at my modem this morning before going to work and I saw
that my modem, was in PPPOE mode.  When I changed it to "Bridge", I got
sorely confused.  All the text boxes for username/password was hidden.  If I
put my modem in bridge mode, how does it connect to my ISP?  And what
exactly is the difference between the two modes.  Thanks.
