Subject: Network Bridge

I have two PCs set up in my garage.  They are:

Deadtom1      192.168.0.6 (a wireless connection to an access point) and
192.168.0.10 (Network Bridge to the Ethernet Port)

Deadtom2      192.168.0.8 (Ethernet connected to the Ethernet Port on
Deadtom1)

Both PCs are in the same Workgroup and can be seen by Windows XP in the
Workgroup browser.

Both PCs can be pinged by either host name or IP address

Both PCs are connected to the internet and are able to browse shares in
the LAN

I cannot connect to either PC with VNC. It simply times out.

Prior to setting up Deadtom2 (and the network bridge), I was able to
connect to Deadtom1 at the 192.168.0.6 IP with no problem.

Anyone have any suggestions?

You have a dual-homed computer, but both addresses appear to be in the
same subnet. What is your netmask? Currently, the dual homed computer
doesn't know where to route packets and may be sending them to the wrong
NIC.

My suggestion is to change one of the connections to 192.168.1.x,
probably the Ethernet side. Then make sure all of them have a netmask of
255.255.255.0.
