I don't understand what you are talking about, and I guess neither do you. > What can I do to get my nic (eth0) with a non internet IP address > (192.168.1.2) to find the bridge? The `bridge' is your only gateway to the Internet, right? Then the only thing you have to do is: # which ip || apt-get install iproute # ip route add AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD/32 dev eth0 # ip route add default via aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd dev eth0 Where AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD is the `bridge' IP address in the dotted decimal format (ISP range, private range, whatever, doesn't matter). (I suppose the `bridge' is configured correctly.) -- ``You know those mail clients: MS Outlook, mail(1), or even telnet(1). All of them suck. This one just sucks less.''
