The problem is that even when I open everything up, i.e. -P INPUT/OUTPUT/FORWARD ACCEPT, -P PREROUTING ACCEPT, then I can still not reach the server from the outside. Interestingly enough, I can reach it from within the subnet, even if the computer that I am trying from is put behind the server, i.e. on the outside.
 
so:
        -----------------------------------------------     -------------------------------------------
        |  IP outside xxx.xxx.xxx.64/26 |     | IP inside xxx.xxx.xxx.64/26 |
        -----------------------------------------------     --------------------------------------------
                                           \                       /
                                           no                  yes
                                              \                 /
                                        -----------------------------------
                                        | bridge xxx.xxx.xxx.70 |
                                        -----------------------------------
                                                        |
                                                      yes
                                                        |
                                                    ----------
                                                    | LAN |
                                                    ----------
 
I set up my bridge as follows:
 
        brctl addbr gollum
        brctl setbridgeprio gollum 0
        brctl addif gollum eth0
        brctl addif gollum eth1
        brctl sethello gollum 1
        brctl setmaxage gollum 4
        brctl setfd gollum 4
        ifconfig gollum xxx.xxx.xxx.70 netmask 255.255.255.192 broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.127 up
 
        ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up
        ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 up
Do I need to give one of the interfaces an IP as well?
 
Thanks for your help,
Carsten
