Hi chaps
I know I've seen the thread before, but can't seem to find it again.
I want connect 2 accounts using 1 router in bridge mode.

I know there's RouteSentry - but I'd like to avoid this and give the routers a bash.

my question is (before I have to restore the origional settings) - is it as easy as simple connecting the dsl line to the 1st router and putting it into bridge mode and then setting the other 2 routers up like normal, or is it a bit more complicated? Does anyone have any tips before I give myself any headaches?

The routers I plan to use are:
1 x the old ADSL Pots router with the single lan port (ADSL MPC850)
2 x Telkom ADSL 5102G routers

I was thinking of using the old pots router as the router in bridged mode
 
The out of a DSL router to the DSLAM is a telephone line.

You're planing to plug a telephone line exiting the 2 routers into another router that is expecting a network cable?

Wow. I must be missing something.

You're not the only one. It won't work with those routers, if you want to do that you either need an IPCop box or have a look at Gatecrasher's thread for splitting traffic with a WRT54G.
 
yeh, for

Stoke: tel line plugged into router set in bridged mode, with the other 2 routers on the lan providing the separate account connections

this is - was my theory but from reading Gatecrashers thread and like Syndyre said, i don't think it'll work anymore
