You may have an IP address problem. After you have added interfaces (e.g. eth0 and wlan0) to a bridge (br0) you must remove the IP addresses from the interfaces with, for example, "ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up" and "ifconfig wlan 0.0.0.0 up", and then apply the IP address to br0, e.g. "ifconfig br0 192.168.0.2 up" Alex > I have no idea for the second problem. > Can you please help. > Sorry for my english, I hope that my explanation were > enough clear > Thanks a lot > > Filippo Graziola > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Poco spazio e tanto spam?
