I setup a bridge (without nf patch) like this:

[br1] ------------[ROUTER HUB]------------------[br2]
   |  |----------------[10.20.30.0 HUB] ------------|  |
   |--------------------[192.168.0.0 HUB]-------------|

My question is how do I configure the workstations in
192.168.0.0/24 and 10.20.30.0/24 networks to get to internet ?
I tried to add on br0 192.168.0.1 address and set gateway on
 192.168.0.2 workstation to br0
192.168.0.1 added address. but it doesn't work.
I can ping the br1 computer but when I try to ping my ROUTER
from a WORKSTATION  it says:
  From 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=2 Redirect Host(New nexthop:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)


The whole point of a bridge is that it doesn't change the routing. Without
any firewalling, it acts just like a switch. Therefore you just put the ip
address of the router in as the default gateway.

But how can I put on a 192.168.0.0 workstation default gateway a
computer that is on other network 217.156.7.x ?
Shouldn't gateway be on the same network as workstation ?
ip route add default via 217.156.7.x ... doesn't work:
RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable

Any clue will be great.

Thanks for answering me,
Nicu Pavel.
