Hi, The additional NIC is an Intel PCI-E Dual Port Copper Gigabit NIC (according to Dell).
As suggested I will try tomorrow to not use the two build in NICs for the bridge but only the Intel one. Maybe that will help. Strange thing is, Monowall has no problem with it. I will report back after tomorrow. Thanks for your suggestions, Christian > -----Original Message----- > From: Vivek Khera [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Montag, 5.
