this does seem to be the accepted work around , but seems like it really sucks to me.
here is what i would like to try,, getting uverse in a few days , ask the rep if i can bridge and was told yes.
then got home as search and saw you cant.
it seem like the ip pass would be dubble NAting
1. according to the book from moto bride mode exist and works

"This guide describes the wide variety of features and functionality of the Motorola
Gateway, when
used in Router mode. The Motorola
Gateway may also be delivered in Bridge mode. In Bridge
mode, the Gateway acts as a pass-through device and allows the workstations on your LAN to have
public addresses directly on the Internet"
there is tel net we need to poke that,
if not maby we can find the OG firmware from moto
2 there is the moto 2247-N8 ADSL2 802.11n Wi-Fi Gateway
this looks to be very close to the NVG510 sans the phone spliter
i wonder if the 2247 firmware can be loaded on the nvg510 to allow bridge mode.
the command line looks to be the same.
does anyone have a 2247 so that we can compare chipsets.
