I have a brige set up on a machine behind a firewall, so I have no IPFW rules on the bridge. But to set up the brigde all I did was add, options BRIDGE #enables bridging between ethernet #cards -- see bridge(4) To the kernel config and then put, echo -c "Enabling bridging: " if sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge=1 > /dev/null 2>&1; then echo "activated ." else echo "failed ." fi In rc.local. And it works fine. Did you have a look at bridge(4)? Are your interface types listed? -- Crist J.
