If it is in bridge mode, then as long as it is connected to another router, it doesn't need to "understand" DHCP and DNS stuff. Make sure the Lynksys bridge and your router don't use the same admin address, such as 192.168.1.1, otherwise things won't work.

Exactly... remember that in 'bridge mode', the router ceases to be a router and becomes basically a connecter of the 2 networks. It neither has IP info, nor does it need any DHCP or dns information. It is now only passing traffic.
