Hi Folks, Can i transform my firewall into a bridge (Mean Nic to Nic), in the ethernet level (Not protocal, Ip''s etc) and also use shorewall ? Than make a Layer 2 Switch with netfilter rules to all Ip''s in my network ? I have 4 whole real classes and want to protect the people inside. With proxyarp works but sometimes fail (People loose connection etc) Just with switchs and my router everything works well but without control. Can with bridge and Shorewall give-me that control ? And tip will really help ! Thanks alot ! Carlos
