FW1, unfortunately, does not work in bridge mode. Some appliance-based firewalls support this functionality, but FW1 depends on an IP address being bound to each adapter used for traffic control. This is more a limitation of the underlying operating system than a limitation of FW1.

Hi Javier,
I'm sure you'll want to give the machine an IP address, and more than
just one. FW1 is a firewall designed for filtering IP traffic.
