Yeah, sorry about that--got to thinking more about it, and thought of more things. These things can be SO confusing. It just happens that I fought my way through it a week ago and this was how I got it to work.
Yes, bridge mode will allow your router to set IP addresses on your LAN. Right, now, it sounds like they're both trying to manage the LAN. That won't work. You can reset the router to the factory default, meaning that when you power up, it will look to configure itself again.
Also, in bridge mode, you can't set any ISP information. The modem is just a passthrough at that point. That's why you lose your internet when you set it like that. Then the router picks up the modem's dsl protocols (password, DNS server info, etc). The Netgear I use at my office LAN autodetects all that stuff. Yours should too, but you really have to set it to the factory settings again.
