Grant Thanks for the quick reply. On the test machine (10.10.1.20) can ping 193.xxx.xxx.77 & 10.10.1.254 (the brouter), however still cannot ping the internet gateway 193.xxx.xxx.126. Below is my routing table: [root:~]$ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface localnet * 255.255.255.128 U 0 0 0 br0 10.10.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0 default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 br0 default 193.xxx.xxx.126 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 br0 ## Start up script # echo "Bringing up NAT" ip addr add 10.10.1.254/24 dev br0 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o br0 -d ! 10.10.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE route add -net -n 0.0.0.0 dev br0 #enable forwarding echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward route add default gw 193.220.59.126 ## Network interfaces file # /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 193.xxx.xxx.77 netmask 255.255.255.128 network 193.xxx.xxx.0 broadcast 193.xxx.xxx.127 gateway 193.xxx.xxx.126 pre-up /sbin/ip link set eth0 up pre-up /sbin/ip link set eth1 up pre-up /usr/sbin/brctl addbr br0 pre-up /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth0 pre-up /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth1 Thanks again for all the help so far.

Would that allow you to have aliases defined in this manner, or would it simply over ride the existing settings? > ### Simple script to start at boot > # /etc/init.d/brouter.init > echo "Bringing up NAT" > ip addr add 10.10.1.254/24 dev br0 > iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o br0 -j MASQUERADE > route add -net -n 0.0.0.0 dev br0 > #enable forwarding > echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Hum, this looks like you will be MASQUERADEing any and all traffic that leaves br0. I'm betting that you are MASQUERADEing some traffic that you do not want to MASQUERADE. > Please advise. You need to selectively MASQUERADE traffic that is leaving your br0 interface. I.e. MASQUERADE any traffic that is leaving your network headed to the world. You can accomplish this a couple of different ways (possibly more). 1) MASQUERADE any traffic that is not destined to your internal network. In other words MASQUERADE any traffic that is leaving your network. I.e. iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o br0 -d ! 10.10.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE (If I have that IPTables syntax correct. You get the idea.) 2) MASQUERADE any traffic that is leaving the physical interface that is facing the internet via the physdev IPTables match extension. (Sorry, I have no experience with this option.) Personally, I would try to do it based on destination IP address rather than physical interface for various reasons that are not really pertinent here.
