I am having trouble bridging two LANS.

My goal is to make one port on the remote router an extension of the physical LAN on the host router.

I have two 532a routers with daughter boards.
The host router has the 192.168.75.0/24 LAN on ether8.
The remote end has a notebook with a static IP (192.168.75.225) plugged into ether9.

At the host I added a l2tp interface with 10.0.0.1(local) and 10.0.0.2(remote).
At the remote end, I created a l2tp interface with 10.0.0.2(local) and 10.0.0.1(remote).
They negotiate a connection properly.

I created an EoIP-to-remote interface on the host router using 10.0.0.2 as the remote address.
I created an EoIP-to-host interface on the remote router using 10.0.0.1 as the remote address.

I created a bridge on the host end, and added the EoIP-to-remote and ether8 interfaces to it.
I created a bridge on the remote end and added the EoIP-to-host and ether9 interfaces to that one.

At this point I can not ping any remote LAN hosts.

The way I understand RouterOS and bridging, this should be the same as a patch cable between the networks but it doesn't work.

I assumed it was layer-2 only BUT.....I can add any unused 192.168.75.xx IP to the remote EoIP interface and the notebook can then ping the remote network hosts. But not everything works. I can not make DHCP or my VoIP phone work. Is the IP on the remote EoIP interface required? I assumed bridging was wide open unless filtered. Do I need some BROUTING or Filters?
