I too am on dialup and at one point had a laptop that I connected with a serial cable to a box that then connected to the box that had the modem.
I set up the access box with NAT at the time by simply installing ipmasq and dnsmasq and setting forwarding. All boxes could access the internet. I never needed bridge and wonder why you're using it. As I understand it, bridging is for making stand-alone boxes that perform the same function as the various ubiquetous blue ones: routers, switches, etc. They themselves don't need to access the internet. Anyway, if you're happy to bridge, good, but I don't know how to make it do what you want. Good luck. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
