Hi Chris, Just wanted to ensure some basic points here. 1. Can the laptop ping the router OR any other machine in the subnet 128.171.103.0/24? 2. Also, hope that you have set the gateway of the laptop as 128.171.103.1. regards, Jothis On 10/5/06, Chris U <chris.uyehara at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi List, > > I have setup a bridge labeled br0. br0 has an ip address assigned to it. > My network looks something similar to this... > > |--------------------| |--------------------| > |------------------| > | laptop | | bridge | | > router | | 128.171.103.10/24 |->(eth1) | 128.171.103.11/24 > |(eth0) ----> | 128.171.103.1/24 | | statically assignd | | > statically assignd | | tested / working | > |--------------------| |--------------------| > |------------------| > > Now for the PROBLEM!
