But when I put > ifconfig br0 10.100.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up > it doesn't ping 10.100.0.2 for instance, am I missing something here? Ah, it is simple then. Set the linux br0 address to some other private range, for example ifconfig br0 10._101_.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up Then set some routes on it: to <NIC1_IP> over interface br0 (if it complains about IP address mismatch, write back and we will sort it out) Well that's it ;-) Regards, David - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
