<![CDATA[WAN is Gateway?]]>So trying to figure out what all this means.

My Service Provider has cat 5 going to their router.  I want to plug this into the WAN port and bypass their router.  If it a works I should be able to get a dhcp address for my WAN Nic.  This would then mean my WAN is my Gateway?

Thanks

Thanks
