OpenBSD Network Bridge Problems

Ok, so I followed the instructions on openbsd.org on how to create a network bridge. I have the following setup, a laptop with a wireless card and a wired internet card and OpenBSD3.6. The wired card goes to a switch which is connected to my WinXP computer and an HP Visualize running Debian 3.0. The laptop is, of course, the computer that should be running the network bridge. So, I set up the config files in the following way: /etc/hostname.wi0 dhcp NONE NONE NONE /etc/hostname.xl0 up /etc/bridgename.bridge0 add wi0 add xl0 up Now, the wireless router gives the wireless card an IP address (192.168.1.104) but none of the computers past it get an IP from DHCP. If I manually assign the computers on the bridged side of the network they can ping the laptop but not the router and can't access the internet.
