Someone mentioned to change net.inet.ip.check_interface to 0. Apparently there was a change in net.inet.ip.check_interface where, in 4.10, it is set to net.inet.ip.check_interface=0 and in 5.3 BETA2(and in 5.2.1) it is set net.inet.ip.check_interface=1. The above difference caused me alot of confusion when I was initially testing the bridge to see if traffic was passing through(I was trying to ssh out from the bridge machine to machines on the em1(no ip) side). I have a 4.10 bridge that is working fine so this change was new to me. Thanks for your time. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
