Upon further inspection, and some of the medicine wearing off, I figured it out. eth0 still had same ip as br0. Causing a loop of the weirdest sort.
All is well. I can screw up the CIPE install now. Sorry to bother you, I now return you to your regularly scheduled day. :-) Chris -----Original Message----- From: Chris Santerre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 3:25 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [Bridge] Clarification needed. brctl,CIPE, ping, arrgh! So much reading and heavy duty cold medication has got me all befuddled. I've confused myself. I have bridging working, but I want to use VPN thru this box with CIPE. However a simple ping test dies! I'm using latest bridging code and it works great. I'm using ipchains and the rules work great. I use eth0 and eth2, which both had real IP addies for different reasons. I simply wish to be able to ping the eth0 nic, but as soon as I run the bridge, it will just die. Pings go out, but no reply. I've removed all chains. I give it freee access, but it just dies. I remove the bridge via ifconfig br0 down, and it still dies. Not until I brctl delbr br0, will it allow me to ping the outside. I'm figuring if I can't ping the outside nic, I sure as heck can't vpn through it. I have tried ifconfig br0 real.ip.addy.here, but no go. I've also tried ifconfig br0 0.0.0.0, no go again. As soon as the code is run, now pinging is allowed back into the machine. Any help, ideas, or requests for more info would be great. Back to google for me, Chris _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
