Just an observation...the OP asked about "bridge" functionality and you answered the question of how to make a router. I think you answered the question he *meant* to ask, but I'm not sure. If he really wanted a bridge, that's a completely different set of instructions (as we both know FreeBSD is perfectly capable of doing *that* too). http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-bridging.html Bruce. --CodgjsiSueVMKabnFFUGAptR20hBH19vs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJS69/EAAoJEEmEkQqMqu6K80QIAIpH0TWaaAQ6arnrY5L0Fs6T 4ajTS37UZdZ1ixbXfSNavwq1qIkTmuUtjpEfDUKWZpYxXlv33RfIVbvTMUuBWc3v Bht/sSrHgUG9jWLUBSwJ3vlrEVRxVf3AI4o5Be544Q+OMwBEGNeosGwjm4Lw1mwZ KIpsjWTJjddvm29WvMH6n83wvcH4V/GP3+bdOR0Q0XmcqUArRhNuECF/OPNp08Hd 4I4rZDYriR6f1zouQxf5IXs9K5N4QMgGX+Bgxl6u/962zOQGS787ytlj/FnhL/ws +JVu5q8GKRtEhVZYZVfwmP0nbWVGQe6SmMmft6yj0MgGPFQdLxlt7QxfA2M1JBQ= =Hjsz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --CodgjsiSueVMKabnFFUGAptR20hBH19vs--
