Hi, You don't need to create a bridge ... simply define your masqueraded network. For example, if your eth0 is your wan interface and your internal network is 10.0.0.0/24 then simply add these in the masq configuration.
The bridging is somehow broken for moment. There are two different things in bridging, creating the bridge itself and adding the corresponding firewall rules. For the moment ... if one creates one or the other ... he will lose the connection to the firewall ... so he will not be able to create, through the web interface the other part ... I need to retest that and find a solution ... have a nice day, >Jason Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Ok guys hope you can help with this one it's been cramping my brain all > evening... > > I'm trying to test out the MNF2 beta.
