[Gllug] bridging ports on a 3com switch

[Xander D Harkness]

My brother who is still stuck at work trying to get a wireless link 
going has run into a couple of difficulties.

He has four wireless arials two on either side of the divide.

He is trying to bridge two ports on a 3com switch either side to allow 
all four arials to be used to double the bandwidth.

At present it is possible to ping and ssh from one side to the other but 
not the other way round.

If the patch cables are reversed it is possible to do so the other way 
round.

I cannot think of a logical reason how the routing should be affected to 
produce this result.

Does anyone have any ideas, or have they experienced this before?

Kind regards
Xander
