In a broad sense both are bridging, but arp proxying works at the ip level and the host acts as a gateway, while bridging connects to ethernet networks, which means all your host network traffic goes through the bridge device. If you only need ip connectivity arp proxying is the considerably simpler solution, e.g. it's simple to setup multiple tap devices for multiple emulation instances. Bridging is only really needed if you want to use DHCP or non-ip protocols, but it has also a bit larger impact on the host network. > http://wiki.aranym.org/manual#debian_gnulinux_networking I tried it now with "Type = bridge" and then aranym won't call aratapif and everything still works fine. So this works too: [ETH0] Type = bridge Tunnel = tap0 The kernel will print the default ip numbers, which may be a bit confusing, but they aren't actually used. The "mini network" could use a bit more explanation: It's a range of four ip addresses, where 132 is the network address and must be divisible by four, 133 is the host ip address, which also acts as the gateway for aranym, 134 is the ip address used by aranym and finally 135 is the broadcast address for this mini network. For /etc/sysctl.conf it's probably better to explicitly mention that it should have a line like this: net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 bye, Roman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
