Hi, I have a single bridge, working between two PC's for testing purposes. In rc.local if I stop "service iptables stop", the bridge works fine and both sides are getting pinged. But when I enable the IPtables it stops working, I need the iptables for filtering and to use with ebtables, any Ideas ? Thanks, Fahim Akhter _________________________________________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.

[Bridge] All Packets Dropped if IPtables are enabled!
You probably have DROP has a default policy for the FORWARD table. Add rules to FORWARD that lets the traffic you need through the bridge. For example: iptables -A FORWARD -s <host1> -d <host2> -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -s <host2> -d <host1> -j ACCEPT Jonthan Fahim Akhter wrote:> Hi, > > I have a single bridge, working between two PC's for testing purposes. > In rc.local if I stop "service iptables stop", the bridge works fine > and both sides are getting pinged. > > But when I enable the IPtables it stops working, I need the iptables > for filtering and to use with ebtables, any Ideas ? > > Thanks, > Fahim Akhter > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live > Spaces.
