What they have called a bridge is actually a bridge and another device - a server. No IP utilities can see the bridge. And that is the point.
Using the Linksys as an example, critically important are the two lights on its front panel to report on the 'incoming' connection and 'outgoing' connection. Without those lights (and some statistics from the server), then nobody can say with certainty what the bridge is doing. If its connection is even working. (Except maybe if operated in an ad hoc mode which apparently is too complex here.)
Is BrianR's bridge just a bridge? Or is it a bridge and separate server? Manual for the bridge or the manufacturer name and model number is what?
