Help!! I'm trying to set up a 100baseT->10baseT bridge utilizing FreeBSD for obvious reasons, and I'm running into stumbling blocks. I was using dual tulip 21143's for this, and I couldn't get it to work. I read the tulip driver code and it stated that 21140 was supported, so I dug up dual 21140's, still nada. What I _really_ need is bridging with filtering capabilities; I have a shop with a 10+ box network going to our forward provider's gateways; one gateway is for dynamic IPs and the other for static. Can't masq/nat the packets, we need the ability to assign static IPs from our forward to our LAN when the need arises. Normally, a bridge would be perfect, but I also need the filtering capablities to keep other subnets out. I had a bridge working under linux for awhile, worked great, but no filters. This made me look elsewhere, and it eventually made me try new things and now I'm running my servers, except for my news, on FreeBSD. The performance is quite noticable, and I even put FreeBSD 3.1 on my laptop with pleasant results. I'm very happy so far, but this prob is causing late hours and major headaches, anyone have something similiar? I know that a bridge works or it doesn't, just a sysctl line with the option in the kernel, but I can't !#$#! figure this out. Right now i'm maintaing connectivity using natd for masqing on FreeBSD 3.1. What other information do I need to post? Do I need to upgrade to 3.2?
