Linux has the EXTREME annoyance that once you connect an interface to a bridge, it stops being usable as an "internet endpoint". In other words, your internet connection is suddenly broken. That means that to fix it, you have to transfer all your settings to the bridge. That is IPv4 address, IPv6 address, firewall rules that may apply, the lot. That in turn makes bridges completely unsuitable for casual use. If you want to use them, better set up your system permanently with a bridge, so at least the casually attaching a simulator to it is doable. (And doing that confuses NetworkManager...) See http://www.microhowto.info/troubleshooting/troubleshooting_ethernet_bridging_on_linux.html#idp87072 Whoever thought this idiotic setup made sense, I don't know. I do know that the BSDs work much more sensibly. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- The Doctor: No, 'eureka' is Greek for \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- 'this bath is too hot.'
