the arp caches of hosts on either side of the firewall should have
entries for hosts on the other side though.  try and ping from a host
on one side of the firewall to a host on the other side of the firewall.
after the ping, type "arp -an" on the host you pinged from; if you don't
have an entry for the host you pinged--you have a bridge problem.  if
you do have an arp entry, but the ping didn't work--you have a firewall
problem.
