Hi, basically, I want to share the internet using a Bridge on a pc with two NICS, one for internet, the other for Internal Network. Now, I know a easiest approuch would be to use NAT, which is how I'm doing now, but since I really need Level 2 Routing, I can't afford doing this with nat. A simple network layout would be like this:
Internet---->[eth1]Gentoo[eth0]---->LAN So, what I've done was this: 1)Installed the net-misc/bridge-utils 2)Enable the bridge module on the kernel 3)Load it 4)ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 5)ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 6)brctl addbr br0 7)brctl setfd br0 0 8)brctl addif br0 eth0 9)brctl addif br0 eth1 10)ifconfig br0 up Now comes the tricky part, since the internet I recieve is via DHCP, and on eth1, if I make: dhcpcd eth1, it timesout, but if I use dhclient eth1, it works, almost, I can get an IP at least, so I've sticked with this 11)dhclient eth1 12)ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 Now, you would have to excuse me, because I really don't remember if that worked, but I think it didn't, what I made (that at least didn't put the whole network down), was all of this, but on step 10 forward: 10)ifconfig br0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up 11)dhclient eth1 And by this, I can actually browse the internal network, but not the internet, in none of the machines, neither the bridge, with/without a iptables firewall enabled. Can anyone please help me? Thanks a lot. Mateus -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
