Dear Kirt, The bridge needs to be setup each time you reboot the system. It is not remembered or setup in the boot sequence as standard. You need to include a small script in the bootup sequence to initialise the bridge automatically. I hope this helps a little? Best Regards Robert Stannard PS There are some previous posts about this. See http://lists.osdl.org/mailman/htdig/bridge/2004-March/000215.html for one example. Kirti S. Bajwa wrote: > Hello German: > > > > Thank you for your response.
