Greetings,
I have a problem in regards to the routing i've set up. I have a public subnet bridged from my ISP(DSL), it's a full bridge. So in order to use this subnet i have created a bridge out of two eth interfaces so that i may also firewall what will be behind the router. In addition to this I have a private subnet (192.168.1.x) that I NAT to the public IP of the router. My setup looks like this:

         DSL Modem (in bridge mode)
                       |
                 / eth0 \
                 <br0> 120.40.60.194/29
                 \ eth1 /
                /           \__ Publically addresses machines
            eth2             192.168.1.1___Privately NATted machines

So eth0 and eth1 are part of the bridge (which has 1 ip address), and eth2 has a private address. eth0 plugs directly into the dsl modem, eth1 into a switch that contains publically addressed computers and eth2 logically so as well. I've set the rules up so that the users behind eth2 get natted and the public users also get internet. This works, what doesn't work however is that the 192.168.1.x users cannot communicate with the publically addressed users through the router. Even when the firewall has been cleared out (of natting rules) they still cannot ping or communicate. It seems there's a different procedure for routing to a bridge. my route -n output is:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 120.40.60.192 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 br0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 0.0.0.0 120.40.60.193 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 br0

How can i get the private LAN users to route to the publically bridged subnet?

Thankyou.

Hello, I had a similar problem until I setup my IPTables rules for the configuration I have running..

eth0 = Dialin access & Wireless Access
eth1 = cable Internet
eth2 = gigabit network to my main machine
bt0 = Bluetooth WAP only when a BT connection is established (down otherwise)

Bridge (Jumpgate) = eth0, eth2

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.3.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 jumpgate
211.28.229.0    *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default         211.28.229.1.op 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth1

   Also here are the sections from my IPTABLES..

iptables/rules-save
-A SWITCH -i jumpgate -o lo -j OUTG
-A SWITCH -i jumpgate -o eth1 -j OUTG
-A SWITCH -i eth1 -o jumpgate -j INCOM
-A SWITCH -i lo -o jumpgate -j INCOM
-A SWITCH -i jumpgate -o jumpgate -j OUTG

I am able to Ping from the machines on eth2 -> the wireless (across the bridge) also eth2 -> the world, World -> eth2

brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
jumpgate          8000.001195ed1217       no                    eth0
eth2

   Bridge Info (brctl showstp jumpgate) I'm just showing the relevent info

brctl showstp jumpgate
eth0 (1)
port id 8001 state forwarding
eth2 (2)
port id 8002 state forwarding

As with you, I wasn't able to ping past the bridge until I setup the firewall with the "-i" & "-o" routines, I even checked the ip_forwarding = "1" under /proc/sys/whatever.

   Hope this helps.
