Bridge Mode

If your ISP limits access to the Internet to specific computers, this means that traffic to/from these computers only will be forwarded. In this case, Bridge Mode is used to connect to the ISP. The ISP will generally give one Internet account and limit only one computer to access the Internet.

Check with your ISP to determine if this mode is used for your Internet connection.
