You have provided us with little to no useful information so you will
probably receive a lot of questions regarding your dilemma. For starters,
tell us the make and model of your router and bridge. Are you using Windows
Vista, XP, 2000, ME, 98SE, 98, 95, 3.1, Linux, Apple, etc.? Anyway, are you
sure you're using a *bridge*? The router you mentioned, is it an ethernet
only router or a wireless router? If you have a dedicated Wireless Access
Point, then, yes, you can attach it to a router. Simply disable DHCP on the
Access Point so that you can receive a valid IP address from the router thus
giving you access to the internet and network. Again, with the limited
information you provided, there's not much we can do for you at this time.
Please be more detailed. Take care.
