> What is a bridge. A bridge. Think of it literally. A bridge connecting one side to the other. You take your car and drive down the road, along a bridge and more road. In networking terms... a "bridge" is simply an extended link from Point A to Point B... (and most are extremely easy to configure). Same network, it's just farther away. We have used wireless bridges and DSL bridges in our company. Setting up a bridge is usually brain dead simple. Now... routing a subnet, that's a completely different, more complicated topic. -Gerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
