Dave,
I was confused, sorry about that.

But at any rate, as you described it sounds like it should have worked
fine.  The only thing I can figure is that there was an IP address
conflict, if the bridge was static IP'd.  But that would be grasping
at straws.

Maybe someone else has some ideas?

Yep that would be handy.  I was going to get a travel router a while
back when I was traveling allot, but never got around to it.
