Hello All I read the mailing list regarding bridge +iptable questions and whatever suggestion were mentioned, I have done them.
I have linux 7.1 kernel 2.4.17 with patch bridge-nf-0.0.6-against-2.4.17.diff, In my make menuconfig I have Experimental is * network packet filtering(replaces ipchain) is * All options in IP Netfilter Configuration are also * The 802.1d Ethernet bridging and netfilter(firewalling) support are also * PS : * = yes brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1 ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 promisc ifconfig br0 135.104.26.26 route add default gw 135.104.26.1 All the makes are done and the bridge comes up fine. I have two ethernet cards eth0 and eth1 I also have a laptop connected on eth1, doing a continuous ping to an www.yahoo.com I have iptable version 1.2.5 When I do iptables -A INPUT -j DROP on the bridge machine , hoping to see the pings to yahoo stop on my laptop, they don't, however pings from the laptop to the bridge machines do stop. How do I stop my laptop from pinging or for that matter doing anything, from the bridge box I have spent about 2 days now trying to see why its not working, but now I give up Any help would be appreciated Fazal _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
