Hello all,

I am new to this list, and to bridging, and am having a problem. Perhaps I just don't 
understand something, am setting it up incorrectly, or just plain missed something, 
but I could use some help.

I am using 2 Redhat 7.3 systems to work out the configuration issues for a bridge, 
before transferring all my accumulated knowledge to an embedded system. One of the 
systems has only a wireless card, while the other has a wireless card and a wired 
interface. The plan is to use the 2nd machine to allow the first to access the wired 
world.

I followed the directions in setting up a bridge on the 2nd machine, bridging the 
wireless card and the wired interface. However, even something as simple as ping on 
the first card does not work. I run TCPDUMP on the 2nd machine, and it reports the 
"apr-whohas" packets arriving, but either they then don't go out, or the responses get 
lost, or something.

I can ping the 2nd machine from the first, using the bridge IP address, just fine. 
Even telnet works. But only addressing the 2nd machine - everything else is a black 
hole.

Any ideas? What did I do wrong?

Thanks,

John Saxer
