I added device if_bridge to kernel=20 then i added the code to the rc.conf =20 cloned_interfaces=3D"bridge0" ifconfig_bridge0=3D"addm sk0 addm sk1 up" ifconfig_sk0=3D"up" ifconfig_sk1=3D"up" now=2C i dun have any network address assigned to any of the interface and = connect the two lan cards to two other machines and try to ping those machi= nes from each other. but no success.=20 =20 ... do you think=2C this is as expected..? (i think bridge does not need to= have any IP address..) > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe=2C send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd= .org" _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live=99: Discover 10 secrets about the new Windows Live. =20 http://windowslive.com/connect/post/jamiethomson.spaces.live.com-Blog-cns!5= 50F681DAD532637!7540.entry?ocid=3DTXT_TAGLM_WL_t2_ugc_post_022009=
