-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I am quite new to this list :) Context: There's a bridge that does one logical net for two nics (vr0,rl0) on the same box (freebsd-4.10-prerelease). vr0 = outsite net (isp connected with dhclient) rl0 = inside net (192.168.1.1) connected with a 10BaseT/UTP cable. The module in use is bridge.ko and ipfw is in use by the bridge. Moreover, there's two servers (dhcpd/dnscache) that do dhcp and name-resolution on 192.168.1.1 (rl0). Question: Why promiscuous-mode enabled interfaces routes packets outbound successfully but not inbound ?? That is, why the private host can lookup addresses, but fails to receive back tcp packets from the internet ? any ideas ? I would really much appreciate any kinds of comments or hints concerning this scenario... Thanks Etienne -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: quork teht! iD8DBQFAn8qlfhO/J4JSDfYRAkdFAJ0SgLdUw4YIp2fUcfirDnhg+C2nkQCePaSW NlICsDs/Rj2vySR3ikJjmvs= =5O1W -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
