Hi. I'm trying to run a bridge between my "internal" network (eth1) and the external internet (eth0). I.e. a very basic setup. But I also want the bridge to have an IP address. I read the docs here: http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Net:Bridge Which say to set the forwarding delay to 0 and then run dhclient on eth0: # ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 # ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 # brctl setfd br0 0 # brctl addif br0 eth0 # dhclient eth0 # brctl addif br0 eth1 # ifconfig br0 up The bridge works fine as a bridge, and eth0 gets an IP address (although it takes a very long time for the dhclient to aquire it). But I can't reach the eth0 address from anywhere except localhost. And I can't get out of the bridge either to any other address..even though the routing table it set up correctly I get destination unreachable when I try to ping an external IP address from the bridge box (logged in through the console). What I want is for the bridge to have an IP address and then I want to allow access to specific ports on the bridge depending on if the packets are coming in through eth0 or eth1. Is this possible to do? Thanks.
