Hi All,

I am trying to set up a bridging firewall with Red Hat 8.0. I can not 
get packets to flow from nic to nic.

Topology:
       
             br0
                |
                |
        ------
        |                |
    eth1          eth2

Here are the steps I have taken to setup the bridge:

ifdown eth1
ifdown eth2

ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0
ifconfig eth2 0.0.0.0

brctl addbr br0

brctl addif br0 eth1
brctl addif br0 eth2

ifconfig br0 0.0.0.0

When I ifconfig br0 I can see that rx packets are incrementing but tx 
packets are not incrementing. Are there any known issues with RH8.0 and 
brdiging? Thanks for helping.

Andy
