I've solved my problem...

I had one 3com 3C905C and one Linksys (tulip) ethernet card in the bridge
machine.  I replaced the Linksys card with another 3C905C and now the bridge
works.

Now I'm off to see how much more trouble I can get into!

Does anyone know why the Linksys card didn't work?  Is it a driver problem
or a hardware problem?
Well, I don't know about the Linksys card, but I had a bridge setup with two DEC tulip cards. That worked fine for little tests, but would fail when heavily loaded (which it was in production). At the time I tried a few ways to get around it, but ended up using Intel eepro cards instead which worked fine.

When trying to troubleshoot the tulip card I found a few vague references on the net to tulip cards with small buffers, but nothing conclusive, so I can't say if I had one of those or not, but that may just be finger pointing.

Cheers,
Ryan.
