IPV6 to IPV4 Bridging Issue
« on: February 19, 2011, 09:26:48 pm »
All,
I have been trying to get the bridge to work and ran across this litte opportunity. I did not setup a specific IPV4  with DNS or DHCP. Just turned them on to see what would happen.
eth 0 is internal transmits and recieves
eth1 is external Transmits and recieves ip is 192.168.138.5
br1 is the bridge Recieves but will not transmit is set to 192.168.138.5
What am I missing? It has to be something really easy.
When I run ifconfig -a this is the  output:

br1       Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:20:2f:8f:18 
          inet addr:192.168.138.5  Bcast:192.168.138.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

 Can anyone explain how I can make this bridge work and what I am missing?
