[Wylug-help] Bridge Filtering

Well, as some of you know, I have two firewalls at home:

e.g.:

			------>flatmate's Windows boxes
Conexant ----|
Firewall		-------> Open BSD firewall ---->My boxes


Which works reasonably well.

Except I can't serve from it - I can use the 'Virtual server' functions to
forward ports from the Conexant Box to the OpenBSd firewall. Except I can't,
beacause it doesn't work. (Connection refused, every time)

So, I'd like the OpenBSd firewall to have it's own public IP address (We have
a spare one from the ISP)

Can I use the 'Bridge Filtering' function to do this if I set the OpenBSD
firewall's IP address to a public one?

Will the windows boxes still [work | behave the same as usual]?

(Conexant firewall docs can be found at
http://www1.planet.com.tw/FAE/ftp/ADSL/ADE3000/EM-ADEV2.pdf )

Am I barking completely up the wrong tree here?
