I'm sorry to bother you but I'm stuck I can not make a bridge work for me. My current configuration is: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:1d:7d:d1:06:bd inet Adresse:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 inet6-Adresse: fe80::21d:7dff:fed1:6bd/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:V according to all what I could find in the net. The following should do to build a bridge ifconfig eth0 down # brctl addbr br0 # addif br0 eth0 # ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up # ifconfig br0 192.168.1.1 up Ok now let's see brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.001d7dd106bd no eth0 looks fine to me then ifconfig br0 br0 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:1d:7d:d1:06:bd inet Adresse:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 inet6-Adresse: fe80::21d:7dff:fed1:6bd/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindung UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metrik:1 RX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:23 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0 RX bytes:192 (192.0 B) TX bytes:4420 (4.3 KiB) looks also fine to me but then: ping 192.168.1.10 PING 192.168.1.10 (192.168.1.10) 56(84) bytes of data. ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted I can not make any sens why ping can fail. so either I misread all the docs or something is foul. Do you have any suggestions?
