[Bridge] beginner question: Lights off

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



 
Hi,
 
Please bare with me if I did something really silly. 
 
I followed the steps from bridge.sf.org to setup a Gentoo box as a bridge.  There is no error message along the way and dmesg doesn't show any error either.
 
I have two NIC on the box: eth0 and eth1(at least one of them is realtek TL8139). I added both of them into br0. eth0 is connected to a router, eth1 is connect to my desktop. 
 
The LED light on the eth0 card is on. But the one to the desktop is off.  If I connect router to eth1 and desktop to eth0, then eth1 LED is on and eth0 is off.
 
My understanding is this would work like a hub or switch so when the desktop is connected, the whole thing would just work as if the bridge doesn't exist.
 
I have been playing with this for a whole day. Any suggestion / idea is appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
Kent
