Sorry to be doing so many post's in a row.
The bridge is still working great, however, when i try pinging google.com, it returns that the host name is bad, but if i use the IP for google, it works just fine.
Doing the same commands on any other computer not running behind the bridge, and it is just fine.

i am guessing that this is an issue with my configuration, however, i have all settings relating to domain names and host's set to values that are appropriate. such as the local DNS server being the main router (192.168.1.1) and whatnot.
If anyone has a clue, let me know.
