I have absolutely no problems using myth with a bridge. Neither my
local frontend, not my 2 remote frontends have any issue. My first
thought is that you have your bridge misconfigured. Can you post the
output of ifconfig -a, and also your /etc/network/interfaces file. Can
you ping an external site (like google.com)?
