 Hello!
 
 I've spent almost the entire evening trying to track
 this down. But it seems
 that I'm totally stucked. Hopefully, someone out
 there has a solution :)
 
 Anyway, here's the problem:
 
 I'm using bridge, but I'm not able to contact the
 bridge box over the
 network. This only applies to the boxes that are
 using the bridge. If a box
 outside the bridged enviroment, tries to contact
 the bridge box, there's
 no problem what so ever. 
 
 The interface that is assigned an ip, is the
 external interface (the one
 connected to my vdsl-modem), and it gets it's ip
 from a DHCP server. 
 
 This is my relevant (at least, I hope so ;)
 configurations:
 
 Kernel-config
 options BRIDGE
 options IPFIREWALL
 options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
 options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
 
 /etc/sysctl.conf
 net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=fxp0,rl0
 #net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1 (yes, for now i
 commented ipfw filtering, just
 to make sure that some misconfiguration, was the
 cause of my problem)
 net.link.ether.bridge=1
 
 /etc/rc.conf
 ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP
 ...
 firewall_enable=YES
 firewall_type=open
 firewall_quiet=YES
 firewall_logging=YES

Do the boxes on the inside of bridge have ip
addresses on the same subnet as the dhcp assigned ip
on bridge box? 
If you are trying to use different address ranges than
you are having a routing problem.

 It's all on the same subnet. Could it be that my 
 switch is conflicting
 somehow? This is my setup:
 
 Internet---Bridge---Switch---all other boxes
 


Basically the same setup I use..It could be the
switch. Do the other machines on the same switch have
problems communicating with each other? If not, plug
the cable from the bridge into a known good port and
give it a try. Also, check your log files for any
messages that may tip you off.
