IIRC, you don't set up a "ifcfg-br0". The "BRIDGE=br0" stuff in the slave devices (ifcfg-ethX) is what triggers the creation of a bridge. Look at "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network" and "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth" for details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Very funny, Scotty.
