Hi I have a similar problem than the one in this thread: https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bridge/2009-May/006383.html and the network is quite similar: http://inwww.epfl.ch/~becholey/network.jpg (every computer run linux there are no DHCP, every IP needs to be static) when I try to ping PC1 from PC2 I can see the ARP "who-has" going to PC1. PC1 answers, I can see the ARP is at on the bridge (on any interfaces), but they don't arrive to PC2 => "Destination Host Unreachable" when I try to ping PC2 from PC1 I can see on the bridge the ARP "who-has", but they don't arrive to PC2. From the bridge, I can ping everybody. In both case I can see the number of packets increasing on the bridge with ifconfig, there are no drops and no errors.. The use of a bridge is not an option, because I need the same subnet (10.79.0.0) in the whole network :-/ Do you have an idea why the ARP packets can't be sent in "the air"? Or do you have a workaround for this? I hope I provided enough information... Thanks in advance. Best regards, Alexandre Becholey PS: here is the configuration of the bridge: (I tried with 2 different wireless card, one mini-PCI broadcom and a USB dongle ralink) # brctl addbr br0 # ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 up # ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up # iwconfig wlan0 essid my_ssid # brctl addif br0 wlan0 # brctl addif br0 eth0 # ifconfig br0 10.79.2.2 netmask 255.255.0.0 up # dmesg device eth0 entered promiscuous mode br0: port 2(eth0) entering learning state br0: port 1(wlan0) entering learning state br0: no IPv6 routers present br0: topology change detected, propagating br0: port 2(eth0) entering forwarding state br0: topology change detected, propagating br0: port 1(wlan0) entering forwarding state # ifconfig br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:21:E9:E7:AE:88 inet addr:10.79.2.2 Bcast:10.79.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::221:e9ff:fee7:ae88/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:468 (468.0 b) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:41:30:92:18 inet6 addr: fe80::222:41ff:fe30:9218/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:59327 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:34860 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:28272439 (26.9 Mb) TX bytes:5007876 (4.7 Mb) Interrupt:17 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:1665 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1665 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2650847 (2.5 Mb) TX bytes:2650847 (2.5 Mb) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:21:E9:E7:AE:88 inet6 addr: fe80::221:e9ff:fee7:ae88/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2004 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:296525 TX packets:799 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:150703 (147.1 Kb) TX bytes:77417 (75.6 Kb) Interrupt:16 wmaster0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-1B-11-08-88-F8-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
