Hello,

Thank you VERY much for your reply.  Sorry I'm new to bridging I was under
the misimpression that I could easily bridge between different networks.

I changed the 192.x network to be on the same network as the 10.x network,
created the a vtun with the wireless cards, bridged the vtun & eth cards on
the server, and the bridge works beautifully now.

thanks very much for this work and your reply.

Best regards,
Ty
