(sorry for posting twice, but posted in wrong distro first time)
Hi all,
try'd all day, but really need help.
I have a server with wired and wireless network. the server is attached to a internet gateway (router)
I want to bridge these. I installed bridge-utills and created a bridge:
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0
brctl addbr bridge
brctl addif eth0
brctl addif wlan0
ifconfig bridge up
When i connect to the wireless lan, my laptop is able to use the dhcp from the router, so the bridge does forward dhcp.
But when i try to connect to the internet nothing works... i created a route to my gateway, but this does not help. I can access my samba shares on the server, so wireless is working.
It seems that only dhcp is forwarded, but nothing else...
I disabled the firewall, but still no good.
Anny help is appreciated,
If somebody has an other setup (no bridge, etc) that does the same, i like to hear to. Searching the internet didnt helped me.
Regards MRX
