I have: - router (Internet, DHCP serving 192.168.1.{100-200}) (255.255.255.0) - linux box, eth0 = 192.168.1.55 (fixed), bnep0 for bluetooth - iPaq connecting to bluetooth I can talk to the server by making bnep0 192.168.*2*.254 and fixing the IP address in the ipaq (or running a dchp server on linux as well), but it would be nice to not have to have another dchp server. I had thought I could bridge the interfaces, but I have tried lots of things like brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 bnep0 but that just leads to aggravating things like the linux box dropping off the network altogether ..
