Hi. I have Fedora running as a server. It's working real good. I have 2 ethernet cards on it. One is a 10/100 and the other a 10/100/1000 What I would like to do is Bridge them. I like to plug my main PC in to the 1000 NIC and my LAN into the 100 NIC like it is now. I just don't know how to set it up. A ifconfig on the 2 NIC I get this:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:F1:97:98:6E

I like to set it up like this because my PC has a 1000 NIC in it too. This way I can do Ethernet fast from my PC to the sever. But I still like to be on my LAN too.
I did this:
brctl addbr mybridge
brctl addif mybridge eth0
brctl addif mybridge eth1
ifconfig eth0 192.168.101.10
ifconfig eth1 192.168.100.50
ifconfig mybridge up
But a brctl show says under enabled no.
I did not have a monitor, mouse, or keyboard on it. When I started to do this I could not get to it any more. So I put a monitor, mouse and keyboard on it. But I still can't connect to it with Ethernet now.
I hope some one can help.
It was working before by using IP tables. But I could not FTP to some things on my LAN then. This is why I like to try and bridge it.

I don't see what the problem is, I used 10M Nic card (3com) to the outside world, and a 10/100 Nic (Intel) for my subnet via a simple switch. It worked automatically. There is sometimes some hardware driver tuning software, what you can download from the manufacturers tite and use with Windows or DOS.

I append a goodie pingscript for subnetting on (A)DSL:

# not-so-fast hack to keep ADSL alive. Include in crontab

# /usr/local/sbin/check-if-ppp-up
# and in /etc/crontab the following line:
# one-min check if ppp0 is up

# changelog

# 05-nov-2001 <ghovs@xxxxxxx>
# - major overhaul, should function properly at last
# - added three less likely cases of ADSL breakdown, as well as
# - config variables, comments, log messages, functions
# 08-nov-2001 <ghovs@xxxxxxx>
# - fixed one message not going to $LOG
