To cut it short: 1) You need to have different networks on the two NICs. You can not have 192.168.1.0/24 on both at the same time [1]. If your ISP modem has to have 192.168.1.254 then your internal network (vr0) has to have a different range (e.g. 10.0.0.0/24). 2) Read & learn about networks, subnets and routing. regards, Robert [1] I'm not going into bridges etc. here
