Happy holidays, I've installed RH 7.2 in an AMD K6 233 system with two 3C905 nics. This is a 2.4.7-10 kernel, I think. Downloaded the 2.4.16 kernel configured all the options for netfilter and Ethernet bridge then installed kernel-2.4.9-13brnf0.0.4.i686.rpm with the following command rpm -ivp -ignorearch and all went well. Then issued the following commands:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 /sbin/ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 /usr/local/sbin/brctl addbr br0 /usr/local/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth0 /usr/local/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth1 /sbin/ifconfig br0 1.2.3.4 up The interfaces come up and start bridging correctly. I can even ssh into the br0 interface. I have a system on the outside with the IP 2.3.4.5 and one inside numbered 1.2.3.6. However, none of the following iptables commands seem to restrict data flow. iptables -I INPUT -s 2.3.4.5 -j DROP iptables -I OUTPUT -s 2.3.4.5 -j DROP iptables -I FORWARD -s 2.3.4.5 -j DROP iptables -I INPUT -d 1.2.3.6 -j DROP iptables -I OUTPUT -d 1.2.3.6 -j DROP iptables -I FORWARD -d 1.2.3.6 -j DROP I would think this should block all traffic between the two systems. Do I need to go back and apply any of the patches? It's not clear to me what the order of patches are for the 2.4.16 kernel. Thanks for any help getting this working. marc _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
