the 'general' answer to the question of how do I "bridge two different networks"
is:-</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=140414701-27072003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>You
can't join different networks with a bridge; you join networks with a
ROUTER.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=140414701-27072003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
rule of thumb is:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=140414701-27072003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>-
BRIDGES join two parts of the SAME network</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=140414701-27072003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>-

<DIV><SPAN class=140414701-27072003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>PS....Rick's 255.255.0.0 netmask works because it defines 192.168.0.0 and
192.168.1.0 as being on the same IP network...so now bridging
works.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
