That's normal: bridges should "disappear" on a network, except for their MAC id. They use the IP of their "clients" (for lack of a better word) with their own MAC and just pass things through. That replacing-the-MAC is what makes them a bridge instead of a hub or router. > > When I look at my router's DHCP client list, I see this: > > 192.168.2.3 DellP4 00:04:e2:85:91:09 > 192.168.2.4 (null) 00:50:fc:eb:14:d4 > 192.168.2.2 libranet 00:04:5a:7d:32:a0 > > The server is 192.168.2.2 and .3 is a PC.

(There is a bug filed for this, but it shouldn't break any DHCP implementation -- the name is optional according to the DHCP standards.) The only odd thing: it doesn't match either address listed for your bridge. It should. > > Any problems you can see with this setup? > It should work fine (except why is the bridge MAC not matching what's on the box?). If it's not working, are you sure you don't have a firewall blocking things? -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20172 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
