Now I have the following problem: I have to access the bridge itself from both sides of the bridge. So I=20 assigned an IP-address to one of the two involved NICs: left side --- [ xl0:192.168.1.1 | sf1: no IP ] --- right side ---------- bridge ------------ Now it's possible to ping the bridge from hosts of the left side but ping= ing=20 from the right side doesn't work. After that I tested netgraph for bridging. Surprisingly that works well=20 including the access to the bridge from both sides. The bridge runs FreeBSD 4.7. If you need more information, please let me know. Any hints? Markus To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
