In Dachstein anyway, do NOT assign any ip addresses to the interfaces, then set the Bridge option on the global and each interface in /etc/network.conf and disable the forwarding_kernel and set the filter to 'NONE'. Backup /etc/ and 'svi network reload'. This is how the bridge works. > This is a new area for me so I'd like any pointers people can provide > me.

You can proxy-arp them, but you'll need different subnets on each interface and NetBIOS. I think you'll be happier with the "true" bridge. > I am looking through the Dachstein network.conf file and > http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/cstein/files/packages/network.txt. > > IPFILTER_SWITCH=router <~~~~~~NONE > IPFWDING_KERNEL = NO > > It sounds like this should be turned off. > IPALWAYSDEFRAG_KERNEL = NO -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Firewall Project developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
