Don't do that. If you're bridging, bring up ethx without IP addresses (I
don't know the Debian incantation for that).
Give the IP address you want to the bridge, not the components...

nmap is your friend (once you've sorted out your addressing). Do something
like "nmap -p 80 192.168.1.0/24" to find all HTTP servers on that network.
