A bridge should just pass Ethernet, with no regard for what's above it on the protocol stack. I suspect that the problem is more likely to be the old broken multicast issue that used to be so common. I suspect that these wireless devices would communicate via IPv6 just find if they were configured with static addresses. noah -- Noah Meyerhans System Administrator MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
