IRB BVI0 interface, no ping possible from the router to inside hosts

Hi Group,

Another problem:

I have a remote site which has a Cisco 877W configured.

It's a wireless model, and I had quite some trouble figuring out
"bridge irb" and setting up interface BVI0.

However its works.... with one major problem:

I cannot ping ANY LAN host from the router console.

Pinging --from the router's CLI- it's owm IP adress (and pinging
internet hosts) is the only thing that works.

Form a LAN client perspective everything works fine. They can ping
each other & an internet host & they can ping the routers inside IP
adress too.

This is a real problem, Since The C877W is used in a site to site
VPN.......You guessed it....VPN works fine....but the only host I can
See/ping/access is the router itself.

Any tips?
Should I get rid of IRB altogether and back using Vlan 1 , 2 ....etc.
When I configured the wireless part. I used "Integrated Routing and
Bridging" This was one of the examples that floats around the 'net.


Greetings,
Steven.
