Hello,

I'm trying to setup a bridge between my 10.x wired and 192.x wireless
networks using bridging & vtun.  The 10.x network connects wired clients to
the internet through a nat server.

In a nutshell I can successfully create the tunnel and bridge but the two
separate networks can't communicate, I don't understand why.

Specifically:

The bridge server has a 10.x eth0 wired card and a 192.x eth1 wireless card
in it, kernel (2.4.18) is configured for  bridging w. latest bridge patch.

I can ping both cards from both networks and successfully create the vtun
tap0 tunnel.

I then do:

modprobe bridge
brctl addbr mybridge
brctl addif mybridge eth0
brctl addif mybridge tap0
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
ifconfig tap0 0.0.0.0
ifconfig mybridge up

no problems,  bridge is up.

If my thinking is correct I should be able to ping the 10.x network from
192.x at this point (or vice versa) but I can't.

Questions I have

1) What should the default route/gateway on the 10.x bridge server be set
to?
2) What should the default route/gateway on the 192.x wireless client be set
to?
3) What am I doing wrong :)

the topology is below if something above is unclear.

<-- Internet -->

<--| (Internet eth0) Server 1 (Nat/Firewall/Default gw for 10.x)  (10.x
eth1) |

<--- 10.x wire & 10.x clients ---->

<--| (10.x eth0) Server 2 bridge/tunnel (192.x  wireless eth1 & vtun tap0 )
|

<- wireless ->  192.x wireless client eth1 & vtun tap0

Thanks very much for any help!

Ty
