btw sorry but i keep getting this msg from elm when i try to reply to you... [Charset iso-8859-15 unsupported, skipping...] and it prevents me from including the original msg in the reply, i need to do a cut&paste... > Maybe I am misunderstanding things, but since the arp-request we recieve are > for our IP address, do we need to forward them to the other segments ? by the time the local stack processes the msg, bridging has already passed the request around. You can always instruct the bridging layer to do arp filtering but apart from code bloat and Layering Violation (which some would consider a federal crime), in a sense you would change the semantics -- requests are broadcast and as such should go everywhere. cheers luigi ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
