Well, bridging is layer 2 in my experiences and works on MAC, not IP..... which can complicate certain things as you have found. I haven't heard of (or checked) for any bridging that is done via layer 3 other than proxy-arp, which would be a very plausible solution for what your attempting..... even if it will seem fairly strange of a setup. Note: DHCP requests (etc....) can/are passed via proxy-arp. -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Firewall Project developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Geek Gift Procrastinating?
