Sir,
I shared internet on a LAN using my machine. It has got two ethernet cards. I installed Ubuntu 8.04. I did the bridging using "bridge-utils". Even though it turned out to be successful, I came across certain other problems:
1) I couldn't use the internet using my machine.
2) After every restart, I had to redo the whole bridging configuration.
This is how i configured.
The two ethernet cards are eth0 and eth1. eth1 is the one connected to the internet. This is what I typed:
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth0
brctl addif br0 eth1
ifconfig br0 up
Then i edited the /etc/network/interfaces as follows:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
After that i restarted the service by typing
/etc/init.d/networking restart
The bridging worked. The client machine could access the internet except mine i.e. the server. Where did I go wrong? What can I do to solve this.
Looking forward for a solution.
Thanking you.
Yours sincerely,
Sibu Thomas Mathew
