First of all, I don't know if this is the correct mailing list to use for this matter, but if it is, please cc me in the reply, since I'm not subscribing to this list. (this was originally posted by me on freebsd-questions@) Here's the problem: I'm using bridge, but I'm not able to contact the bridge box over the network. This only applies to the boxes that are using the bridge. If a box outside the "bridged" enviroment, tries to contact the bridge box, there's no problem what so ever. The interface that is assigned an ip, is the external interface (the one connected to my vdsl-modem), and it gets it's ip from a DHCP server. This is my relevant (at least, I hope so ;) configurations: Kernel-config options BRIDGE options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT /etc/sysctl.conf net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=fxp0,rl0 #net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1 (yes, for now i commented ipfw filtering, just to make sure that some misconfiguration, was the cause of my problem) net.link.ether.bridge=1 /etc/rc.conf ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP" ... firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="open" firewall_quiet="YES" firewall_logging="YES" Br .fredrick
