Try pinging hxtmxxl with a Linux host behind the bridge, use the -s option to increase the packet size. That way you can find out when the problem occurs. Then try the same to another host on the net (I like pinging google). If you can make your ping packet bigger than the Ethernet packet length, then it's not a problem with MTU. If you have acces to the gateway, you can monitor the traffic there too, to see what's going on. > Here is my bridge configuration: > Internet > > > Gateway > > | eth0 > > Ethernet Bridge > > | eth1 > > H u b ( one normal hub or switch , no VLAN settings) > > | \ > | \ > > D-Link 802.1Q VLAN Switches (their uplink port-port 1 connected to > the upper hub are tagged, those ports connected with PCs are untagged). > > Bridge configuration: > Linux 2.4.26 ( kernel built in bridge function) > Eth0 RTL8139 driver > Eth1 Intel e100 NIC with eepro100 driver > > With VLAN tag, I met the hotmail login error, if without VLAN tag, all > are OK! So, your bridge setup does not have a tagged vlan port? The bridge ports are always the physical devices eth0 and eth1? If that is so, then I guess it must be a problem with your network cards, as has been suggested by others. cheers, Bart
