Thanks for the reply
I didn't recompile a kernel specifically for this. I thought the bridge was a
KLD (/boot/kernel/if_bridge.ko)? ifconfig shows the bridge as running.
ashleymoran@alfie$ ifconfig

Here is my setup:

{ NETWORK }---------|alfie|---------|fred|
\_________/ +-----+ +----+
FreeBSD Win2k
So if I disconnect alfie, fred will lose connectivity too.
Hopefully this clears up what I meant...
