[Bridge] DHCP and bridge

[Chris Leavoy]

Hello all,   I'm having a little difficulty with dhcp over the bridge. The problem is that the bridge itself is a client of the dhcp server.  To my surprise, it *almost* works!  The clients behind the bridge are able to lease an ip from a dhcp server on the other side of the bridge.  But unfortunately, the bridge machine itself is having problems getting an IP.  When I run dhcpcd on the bridge interface, nothing seems to happen.  Oddly though, when I run dhcpcd on the actual interface, it can lease an ip just fine.. but nothing works.    I have a few questions:   Where can I go from here? Ideas? What could be wrong. Is this even possible?   Id rather not have to make another linux box out of spare parts to do just the bridging if I can get away with it.   Thanks,   Chris Leavoy
