Re: network bridging configuration

Yes:

1. Kill the bridge

2. Set IPEnableRouter to 1.

3. Clients on the 172.16.12.x network need a default gateway or static
route which points to the 172.16.12.x IP of the 2 NIC machine. And, clients
on the 102.0.0.x network need a default gateway or static route which points
to the 102.0.0.x IP of the 2 NIC machine.
