Bridging over frame relay cloud.

Hey guys, the archives were no help thus far...

Here's the setup:

Fully meshed frame cloud with four routers connected using LMI. Each =
router has an ethernet segment with a unique network. Serial interfaces =
are all on one subnet, and could ping each other fine (expected result) =
before the 'no ip routing' statement was introduced.

I want to be able to bridge IP traffic between the four ethernets over =
the frame cloud. Thus far I cannot ping anything from anywhere.
The configs were taken right from the Cisco Bridging IBM and Network =
Solutions book. IOS is 11.3 on all routers and switch.

Questions:
Do I need to do anything to the frame-cloud router?
Is there any need for additional frame-relay bridge statements ?
Should I do away with LMI and go with frame relay map statements =
instead?
Does using the ' frame-relay map bridge' statement disable LMI anyway?

Thoughts appreciated.

The following configs are on each router:

no ip routing
bridge 1 protocol ieee

int s0
bridge-group 1
frame-relay map bridge <s0- dlci> broadcast

int e0
bridge-group 1

This is the same on all routers:

router1#sh frame map
Serial0 (up): bridge dlci 104(0x68,0x1880), static,
              broadcast,
              CISCO, status deleted =20

Router3 is the only one to have any bridge mappings:
router3#sh bridge

Total of 300 station blocks, 297 free
Codes: P - permanent, S - self

Bridge Group 1:

    Address Action Interface Age RX count TX count
0000.0c4a.1c13 forward Ethernet0 0 0 0
0060.083c.564f forward Ethernet0 0 62 0
0060.0897.bf6c forward Ethernet0 1 2 0 =20

NOTE: All routers have the statement 'We are the root of the spanning =
tree' in their respective show span outputs.
