Have you confirmed that all your routes on the bridge are set up appropriately? Can you ping the bridge from each side?
I'm assuming your network is 192.168.0.0/24 and that your external gateway is something like 192.168.0.1 so you should have the following routes: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0 127.0.0.1 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 br0 Best, Leon -------Original message------- Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2003 12:37:07 +0200 From: Aike Terjung <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Bridge] can not ping into the network from the bridge To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hello, ich have some problems with the bridging function. I had build a new Kernel with bridging. The bridge should connect a wlan to a normal wierd ethernet. i have done the following: brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 wlan0 ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 ifconfig br0 192.168.0.10 up after that, the bridge itself seens to work, i am able to ping from a Computer in the Wlan to a computer in the Wired-lan, ok. But the computer with the bridge shuld be the gateway, mailserver e.t.c. for the bridged Network, and it is no more possible to ping from it to hosts in the Networks. I always get a "send to: Operation is not permitted" error message. can anybody say me what i am doing wrong? thanks verry much Aike Terjung _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
