Are you guys using the default network-bridge script? I have systems up
with your configuration but can''t duplicate your problems.. my guess is
that''s the root of it.

Please let me know :) I''m about to take a whole rack of blades from
sarge to etch.. and I''m thinking Ubuntu is the safest bet at this
point.

Nothing has changed in the related packages (as far as I can tell).. so
something is really weird.

Best,
