what interface is bridged? the wired interface? or a wireless interface? last time i looked, linux could not bridge wireless interfaces (or at least all the wireless interfaces i tried, 3 different chipsets). so don't do that. you can bridge wired interfaces, but bridging wireless is more likely to not work than to work (i've never heard of it working, although i wouldn't be surprised if it can be made to work for some popular chipsets). go NAT. talk to eric. i made him a firewall script that works with NAT. good to learn iptables anyway. you'll need to customize eric's script a bit. generally, where to do that is obvious. if it isn't, ym me and we can look at how to get it working on your computer. tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bopolissimus.blogspot.com http://monotrematica.blogspot.com Modularity - Write simple parts connected by clean interfaces. -- http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch01s06.html#id2877537 -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bopolissimus.blogspot.com http://monotrematica.blogspot.com Using the Back button in IE is dangerous. http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/267561 Pressing CTRL in IE is dangerous. http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/283866 _________________________________________________ Kagay-Anon Linux Users' Group (KLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (http://cdo.linux.org.ph) Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
