Thanks guys! I passed this info along to my friend who greatly appreciates the help (as do I).

Now the 64 million dollar question....once he has the two bridges setup, one at his house, one at his buddys house, how does he convert his buddys bridge back to a hard-wired setup? I saw that most companies make one of those game adapters that you can hook a console/laptop/whatever into, but can you plug a router into it and have the router act as a DHCP server?
