Well, I need to use this box as a switch, plugged into my router. That was the intention anyways...Basically, I've got a 32 IP routed block. The router gets 216.27.168.193, and is the gateway. I don't have enough switch hardware to actually use all 32 IPs, and I thought that bridging would be a great alternative, as I have a bunch of 4-port cards... > Another thing you can try and do is add eth0 as part of the bridge with the > rest of the adaptors, so your system only has one IP address.

(simple > arp -ad under WinXX should do the trick). Well, I don't have any way into the box other than SSH (it has nothing but a USB port and one PCI slot that the NIC is using)...so I wrote the following script: #!/bin/sh ifconfig eth0 down brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1 brctl addif br0 eth2 brctl addif br0 eth3 ifconfig br0 216.27.168.203 netmask 255.255.255.224 But I couldn't access the box after that...had to reboot it. -- Casey Allen Shobe [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
