Hi I'm still working on my tunnel bridge problem. I found a nice proxyarp howto from Bob Edwards (thank you Bob) which is the solution to my problem except for broadcast through the tunnel. I set up a tunnel with two systems with two ethernet cards each (one on each endpoint of the tunnel) one side: eth1 is 191.1.2.250 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 is 144.200.72.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 tunnel configuration: ip tunnel add mytunnel mode ipip local 144.200.72.1 remote 144.200.72.2 ifconfig mytunnel 191.1.1.251 netmask 255.255.255.0 arp -i eth1 -Ds 191.1.1.1 eth1 pub #host on the other side of the tunnel on eth1 the other side has an similair configuration 191.1.1.X instead of 191.1.2.X and 144.200.72.2 instead of 144.200.72.1. a ping 191.1.1.1 from this side work perfect (so the tunnel seems to work), but broadcast on 191.1.255.255 does not work. Broadcast doesn't propagate through the tunnel. Do I have to enable broadcast routing? Maybe the type of the tunnel is wrong? The traffic through the tunnel is low (10kb/s) (But the two boxes are extremly slow as well 486/33). Is there some kind of light encryption for my application? Thanks Dani and have a nice weekend -- ********************************************************** Daniel Haensse Klinik fuer Neonatologie UniversitaetsSpital Zuerich Frauenklinikstr. 10 8091 Zuerich Switzerland Tel: ++41 / 1 / 255 5342 Fax: ++41 / 1 / 255 4442 email: daniel.haensse@fhk.usz.ch - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
