I am VERY interested, since I administer a transparent firewall myself. My firewall uses proxy arp (I implemented it in the old 2.2.x kernel + ipchains days), but I would like to convert it into a bridge much as you did. > iptables -A FORWARD -d 62.4.8.73 -s 0/0 -p ICMP -j DROP > iptables -A INPUT -d 62.4.8.73 -s 0/0 -p ICMP -j DROP > iptables -A OUTPUT -d 62.4.8.73 -s 0/0 -p ICMP -j DROP > iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -d 62.4.8.73 -s 0/0 -p ICMP -j DROP > iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -d 62.4.8.73 -s 0/0 -p ICMP -j DROP > iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d 62.4.8.73 -s 0/0 -p ICMP -j DROP > iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 62.4.8.73 -s 0/0 -p ICMP -j DROP > iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d 62.4.8.73 -s 0/0 -p ICMP -j DROP > iptables -N br0 > iptables -A br0 -d 62.4.8.73 -s 0/0 -p ICMP -j DROP > iptables -A br0 -d 62.4.8.73 -s 0/0 -p ICMP -j DROP -i br0 > iptables -A FORWARD -d 62.4.8.73 -s 0/0 -p ICMP -j DROP -i br0 > iptables -A INPUT -d 62.4.8.73 -s 0/0 -p ICMP -j DROP -i br0 ^^^^^ If I remember correctly the documents I read, packets should appear in the chains with the original interface names, i.e. the above rule will not match any packet, you should try eth0 or eth1 or both, depending on your detailed setup. However, how about setting up an extremely verbose LOG rule which matches anything, so that you can actually see what packets are flowing through? Then you would be able to concoct matching rules more easily. I hope this helps, bye Giacomo -- _________________________________________________________________ Giacomo Mulas <[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]> _________________________________________________________________ OSSERVATORIO ASTRONOMICO DI CAGLIARI Str. 54, Loc.
