That's how it's supposed to work if you've got the bridge software in it.
The external IP gets passed on to whatever follows it. I think there's a
version of software that does NAT routeing, I think mine even came with it
before I flashed the newer bridge software into it. The device is useful
when you've already got an ethernet NAT router, as you might have if you
were switching from cable to ADSL.

Thanks to all who responded. This device most certainly does NAT, as
the behaviour I described in the OT is recent. Anyway, I now have a
reply from the vendor. They say it's all Vista's fault, and they have
a fix for their later devices, but not mine.

I smell a rat. Especially as the machine involved is running Windows
Server 2003 ....

Mind you, their suggestion that I run it in bridged mode is probably a
good 'un.
