Ive read about the Marconi password vulnerability/ignorance issue: are you still vulnerable if you are running in bridged mode?

You should not be as when you are running bridged your modem does not have an IP assigned to it, therefore there is nothing to connecto to from the outside world. Your PC connectos to it via the MAC address which is not really accessible to any hackers out there ...

That's the way I understand it anyway ...
