Rick:  You are using bridging mode on the router (turned on) - a common thing
to do to allow DTC traffic to pass since it's not routable (unless it's one of
the newer DTCs that can speak IP).  You're not the first to do this, and until
all of these older DTCs are dead and gone (not anytime soon), this will be the
norm.

Unfortunately, what Tracey wrote first, and then you inadvertently confirmed -
You're both saying the same thing but in different languages.  To handle DTC
traffic over ANY router, bridging must be turned on.  This will take any
traffic that is not routable (such as DTC traffic, or NetBEUI traffic for
Windows), and broadcast it over the network.
