I'm using 3-2 Stable..sources cvsup'd as of 3 days ago This morning I tried to use bridging on freebsd. Because I have 2 real IP's from my ISP and bridging would solve some of the issues I have with using STATIC-NAT like I have been using. Got my new Kernel compiled with options BRIDGE and DUMMYNET And for the short period I got it to work..it worked exactly like i wanted it to. But this is a problem. First..half the time..it wouldn't work at all. After boot up..i would do the SYSCTL variables..the log would say everything is a go..but my 2nd box was just dead. couldn't ping or anything. The route was never getting set. But when it would work...everything would go beautifully for about 10 minutes..then for no apparent reason with no log errors, bridging would just stop. I no longer could ping or get anywhere. Is bridging still extremely buggy? Both my NIC's in the freebsd box are "XL" drivers and the man page on bridge says its reported. Anybody have any clue what might be going on? Any help is appreciated. Sam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
