Hi, We need to bridge several interfaces together, but still retain the ability to communicate through the individual interfaces. So for example, we have eth0 and eth1 bridged and we bind IP addresses to both of them, in order to inject packets into communication between two devices connected to our interfaces. It seems that several problems arise intermittently: 1. When sending ping requests, replies sometimes come in on eth0/1, but sometimes on br0. We can work around this, but it would be great to get some idea of why and when this happens (and possibly whether we can prevent it from occurring); 2. Occasionally, ARP requests sent by external devices for the IPs of eth0/1 are ignored. We are running Fedora Core 6 (2.6.13-15-smp). Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help. Roman
