Depends if the bridge has just the host part of the IP address wrong or weather the network portion's wrong. If the latter is the case then you could configure a static route on the router to the subnet it's on, and then set a static route to that router on your unix machine. Also, if you've got access to a machine on that network then you could login to it and configure a static arp entry to a non-live address, but using the bridge's ethernet address. Then you should be able to access the bridge from it. Scot.
