hi all i am new to linux and bridging but i was able to build a bridge separating the rest of the network from the internet router because i wanted to do traffic shaping with the bridge . so i latter upgraded to fedora core 2 because i was told ebtables was more stable there but after the upgrade clients can no longer resolve hosts addresses (dns does not work ) . again is it posible to achieve bandwith management with a bridge and how thanks Dominic __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
