You can also load the module with: kldload if_bridge IIRC, your settings in rc.conf should be enough to configure the bridge, so if you choose to load dynamically while running, try a "/etc/netstart" to configure the bridge. If that doesn't work, a reboot should. If you can't get it to work, supply the same output I asked for above, and then I'll set up a quick lab here to test it. Steve
