Hi Guido,
what are you trying to accomplish ? What's the problem you are trying to solve, that really needs a bridge? Is this SNA-traffic or Novell IPX or what else ?
Hi Philip, hi all, first thank you for your links, I will follow them in the next days. The "problem" I try to solve, is that this box shouldn't be a router, because I haven't got enough ip-numbers. Sure, I could do some things like port or adress forwarding. But I thought of a bridge which is "invisible" and can be put between the dsl router and the network like a thick cable, so I don't have to change anything on the boxes in the network :-) First I thought of freebsd, but as I found that bridging is compiled in the suse kernel (modul) I want to try it with suse (also 'cause I'm more familiar with (suse) linux then free bsd) guido
