This is what I had to config to get that scenario to work..
interface BVI1
no ip address
no ip directed-broadcast
ipx network 700
bridge 1 protocol ieee
bridge 1 route appletalk
bridge 1 route decnet
bridge 1 route ip
bridge 1 route ipx
no bridge 1 bridge appletalk
no bridge 1 bridge decnet
no bridge 1 bridge ip
bridge 1 priority 1
