What number is 'x' above? Hopefully some number other than .1 or .2. > auto br0 > iface br0 inet static > address 192.168.1.2 > network 192.168.1.0 > netmask 255.255.255.0 > broadcast 192.168.0.255 > gateway 192.168.1.1 > bridge_ports eth0 > bridge_fd 0 > bridge_hello 2 > bridge_maxage 12 > bridge_stp off Remove 'network' line. Remove 'broadcast' line. Let the tool calculate it from 'netmask'. That will prevent errors such as in the above where the broadcast setting is incorrect. :-) [It should have been 192.168.1.255 not 192.168.0.255.] I don't see any other problem. I do not set 'bridge_hello' nor 'bridge_maxage'. I do set 'bridge_maxwait' to 0. YMMV. I also use the resolvconf package and therefore also set dns-nameservers and dns-search but that is a separate thing. Bob
