Well, I haven't setup a bridge in some time, so correct me if I'm off-base here. Last I checked, bridging is NOT a function of routing and does NOT use ip addresses/routes/etc.. You simply bring up the interfaces as 'bridge-interfaces' w/o further configuration and the whole thing works similar to a switch. From what you have posted, I'm very surprised anything works at all period as a bridge, but I'm assuming that much may have changed in the last couple of years....... -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall Developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net http://guitarlynn.homelinux.org:81 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
