I thought the bridge was a KLD (/boot/kernel/if_bridge.ko)? ifconfig shows the bridge as running. ashleymoran@alfie$ ifconfig rl0: flags=8943 mtu 1500 options=8 inet6 fe80::2e0:4cff:fe77:27f0%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 192.168.0.181 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:e0:4c:77:27:f0 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active rl1: flags=8943 mtu 1500 options=8 inet6 fe80::2e0:4cff:fe12:a7d9%rl1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 ether 00:e0:4c:12:a7:d9 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active plip0: flags=108810 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 bridge0: flags=8041 mtu 1500 ether ac:de:48:01:fb:93 priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20 member: rl1 flags=3 member: rl0 flags=3 Here is my setup: bridge0 / \ _________ | | / \ rl0 \+-----+/rl1 +----+ { NETWORK }---------|alfie|---------|fred| \_________/ +-----+ +----+ FreeBSD Win2k So if I disconnect alfie, fred will lose connectivity too.
