Hi,
Due to lack of hardware, I have a single machine which I'd like to use as
both a router and a bridge. Namely:
-ppp0 is a link to my ISP, and has an IP address in their range
-eth0 is a link to my house's wired network, and traditionally has the IP
address of the "default route"
-eth1 is a PCMCIA 802.11 card operating in ad-hoc network mode.
The machine in question has bridging enabled, and eth1 is set up as
127.0.0.1/255.0.0.0; Both interfaces are promiscuous and brcfg has enabled
bridging. At this point machines on the wireless segment can see machines
on the wired segment and vice-versa, with one important exception:
wireless machines can't talk to the IP address of eth0 on the
bridge/router, nor can that machine talk to wireless hosts.
The idea is the network in the house should be bridged, so it can be
served by a single DHCP server running on a Sparc on the wired network,
without a forwarding agent.
Is there any step I'm missing which could make this situation salvageable,
or do I need to decide on either routing the wireless segment or getting
another piece of hardware to bridge?
-D
