Hello, I have a TL-WR1043ND whcih i have set-up in Bridge mode; DHCP is disabled and NAT remains enabled. All works great however i cannot setup a time server for this Bridged-Router nor can i ping 8.8.8.8 as an example from this rounter anymore. I don't believe my upstream Gateway is blocking it. I am able to ping this router internally from machines connected to it and the ones not directly connected to it. Any ideal how to get the time server working or to Ping the outside world? 

Thanks.

You are not using WAN port, right? Without WAN, time server will not work. And the router doesn't have WAN IP, you cannot ping it from outside world. But you can open port for the router on the uplink device and use the WAN IP to access the router from outside world.
