Thanks for the assistance Bart! I was sure I'd get flamed for being a n00b. I have now completed the kernel compilation, with your assistance, and have re-installed bridge-utils and iptables 1.2.6a. It booted flawlessly and the bridging looks excellent and functions very well; however, iptables is not interacting with the bridged interfaces. Please correct me if I'm wrong but when I try the following rules:
Iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn -j DROP Iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -j DROP I should be able to surf, but shouldn't be able to ping across the bridged interfaces. That's just not happening. Another interesting anomaly is that the mybridge interface needs to be manually brought up in order for the bridge to pass traffic. Is this indicating that there is something else wrong? -Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: Bart De Schuymer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 2:08 PM To: Jeremy Junginger; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Bridge] Bridging with kernel 2.4.18 On Friday 07 June 2002 22:48, Jeremy Junginger wrote: > I know this post will test your patience.
