connecting 2 home-lan's ?

[mutombo]

i have quite some problems getting 2 lans together with tinc,
setup is :
2 linuxrouter connected to the inet.
behind everyone is a subnet 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 with some normal 
windowsworkstations.
these 2 subnets should be merged to one.
we already connected the 2 linuxboxes with tinc and it worked smooth. but 
the subnets behind the routers werent pingable.
so I thought we need ethernet bridging (please correct me if im wrong !! 
not really sure...)

we used this setup on both boxes:

/etc/tinc/muto/

tinc.conf:

Name = mutombo
ConnectTo = rhino
Device = /dev/net/tun
PrivateKeyFile = /etc/tinc/muto/rsa_key.priv
Mode = router

tinc-up:
ifconfig muto 0.0.0.0
brctl addif bridge muto
ifconfig muto up

hosts/

mutombo:

Address = mutombo.dns.org
-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
...
-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----

rhino:

Address = rhino.dns.org
-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
...
-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----


ifconfig:

ifconfig and route same on both boxes exept ppp0 is the external interface 
and has a different ip.


syslog:
tinc.muto[11805]: tincd 1.0pre8 starting
tinc.muto[11805]: /dev/net/tun is a Linux tun/tap device
kernel: device muto entered promiscuous mode

router tinc.muto[11805]: Ready
router kernel: bridge: port 2(muto) entering learning state
router kernel: bridge: port 2(muto) entering forwarding state
router kernel: bridge: topology change detected, propagating


but there is no connection possible between these 2 networks.
perhaps i've understand something horrible wrong and this could be done 
much easier.
a nice kick in the right direction would be very nice :)
