Hi folks, I was searching the through the archives and found this question which seams to be describing a similar problem I am having, I did not find a reply or answer to it though. So I would like to ask the question again as it seams to very close to mine and I would imagine it must be resolveable, probably through a simple configuration or patch… See the link below for the original post. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2003-December/002109.html I have set up Transparent Bridging and IPFW on a server by compiling support into the Kernel as described in the FreeBSD handbook and other FreeBSD tutorials, no frills just the basics… 2 interfaces, no IPs, passing traffic with the firewall wide open by default. I configured the machine over ssh before I stuck it on the network via a third interface that has an IP from the LAN the machine is bridging. When I put the bridge onto the network, it works perfectly, passing all packets both ways through the open firewall, but the third interface, the admin one with an ip on my network stops working… just like describe in the original post… Oh yea... FreeBSD 5.2.1 P4 1.4ghz 512Ram 2x3com (bridge) nics 1xrealtek (admin interface w/ ip) It must be some sort of logical loop bug!!! Anybody have any ideas, thanks, Russ
