Hi all, This is my first post to this list. I hope someone can help me, I have been getting grey hairs trying to make this work! I have a bridge setup on a debian sarge box. The bridge is called br0 and sits between my cable modem and a non-name brand router/switch: [cable modem]----[eth1]---[br0]----[eth2]-----[no-name brand router] I have squid setup on the linux box and it works, I have tested it. This is how I setup the bridge: ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 promisc up ifconfig eth2 0.0.0.0 promisc up brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth1 brctl addif br0 eth2 ifconfig br0 192.168.0.88 netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add default gw 192.168.0.1 dev br0 The output of uname -a: Linux sarge 2.6.8-2-386 #1 Tue Aug 16 12:46:35 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux I have one other nic in the sarge box, eth0, which has the ip 192.168.0.2 My gateway (the no-name brand router), has the IP address 192.168.0.1 I have tried every howto I can find to setup squid as a transparent proxy but have not had any luck (including http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/1433/ and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/TransparentProxy.html). Every time I try these I have to reboot because I cannot get the bridge to act as normal, all web traffic does not go through. Can anyone tell me the ip/ebtables commands I need to get this working? Also, if there is a way to avoid rebooting if it does not work can you please tell me that as well. Thank you *very* much. Cheers Paul
