I had bridgeing working with shorewall 1.?? and Bering-uClibc (something) about a year ago, when I was too stingy to buy a switch. (P90 + 2 ISA NE2000 compatible cards for the lan plus a dialup modem to the internet)
I ended up just replacing ppp0 in all the shorewall config files with br0 and it worked like a charm. I needed a couple of other entries to allow my 2 PC's to transfer data to each other when the modem link was down. > On Mon, 15 Mar 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > > I see I misread the shorewall requirement line on that page.
