No. You need to be on a local network (preferably with its own DHCP server) to use bridged networking. It will not work if the host is directly connected to the Internet by modem. You would need a NAT router to share the connection.

That link takes me to a search window. What was the picture supposed to show? Is it too large to upload to the forum (2M limit)?

blogmexicano, what do you want to do with your new Windows guest? Depending on how you use it you may not need Bridged.

I found the Cisco DPC2420 gateway manual online. It has a cable internet connection, one Ethernet port, a wireless access point, a DHCP server, and voip telephone ports. The manual says the gateway Ethernet port can be expanded with a multiport switch. It is accessed on a default 192.168.0.1 IP address. Looks like a full-blown router, with just one Ethernet port.

You can only do that if you have two NICs in the host machine, with two different connections to the Internet.

With your current setup, even if you had a router and a private LAN and used bridge mode, the IP which was visible from the Internet would still be the same for both machines, because you only have one public IP address which is shared by the two machines. Bridge mode does not hide your vm.
