Nice to hear back from you. I am converting this report to a question to keep the bug-list activity down, and giving you a link or two to help you get off the ground.
This is a great resource on bridging: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Net:Bridge. The FAQ section is pretty comprehensive. An important fundamental is understanding what happens to your nics in promiscuous mode - you are essentially giving the nics ability to both receive any traffic flowing across your network, and to generate spoofed packets such that they look like they are coming from the virtual addresses you create. This behavior is a limitation for bridges on really busy networks as they eat a lot of your resources. On the plus side, you essentially trade in individual control of your nics for control of a virtual Linux router that can utilize all of your physical interfaces and route to and from your virtual interfaces. If this approach does not look right for your scenario then try the networking and tutorial forums at UbuntuForums.org for info on how to forward traffic between different subnets and go from there. There are a lot of unresolved forum posts on this subject, so the tutorials section might be the best place to start. You can take these configurations to crazy extremes if you so desire. Either way, these are the most common approaches to configuring a system to harness multiple nics in a productive manner. Good luck! ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Converted to question: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/67363 -- 2 NICS with static IPs = NO DNS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298597 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
