I am encountering a problem where the source address on broadcast packets seems to be altered to the local IP by the bridge netfilter. The details on the issue are documented here http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-420158-highlight-.html. As a workaround to this issue, I have disabled the bridge netfilter through the proc filesystem with: echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables This workaround stops the source address of the broadcast packets from being altered. However, it also precludes a firewall on the bridge adapter. Based on http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/bridge/2005-January/000804.html, it seems that another workaround is to remove the iptable_nat module. Has this been identified as a bug? As I'm not subscribed to the list, please cc me on response. Thanks again, --Jase -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
