I am trying to set up bridging on a FreeBSD 4.0 machine.

option BRIDGE has been added to the kernal config

net.link.ether.bridge=1 added to the /etc/sysctl.conf file

On one end of the bridge (ep0) are devices with address XXX.XXX.0.XXX 
netmask 255.255.0.0
and on the other end of the bridge (ep1) are devices with the ip address of 
XXX.XXX.50.XXX netmask 255.255.255.0

If either ep0 or ep1 are given address of XXX.XXX.50.XXX devices on both 
sides can ping and telnet to that
address but not each other.

Am I missing out anything obvious ?
