Playing with the network

I'm in the position of needing to improve my internet connectivity, so one of the first steps is to decouple all the things that provide the services I rely upon.

Stage one is to turn my modem into just an ADSL endpoint, removing any DHCP, NAT, and PPPoE termination from the device so that it has a single function.

Fortunately my nb604n ADSL modem has a nice easy-to-follow guide for taking it into bridge mode: http://support.netcommwireless.com/sm/videos/nb604n/nb604n-bridge-mode-setup-guide

Now onto greater things!
