All is good and this is my goal. Second Scenario : I switch the br0 to dhcp (not fixed IP) Results : * My Linux bridge obtain an ip adress (br0=10.255.0.3)..all right * But, i can't access anywher from my Windows client (i can't obtain an ip) * A tcpdump on my Linux Bridge, i see DHCP REQUEST arrived from Windows PC on eth1 interface but not repeated on eth0 interface..:(. MY goal is that the Windows can obtain an IP from the dhcp server, and i will able to administer my Linux Bridge (a simple box-router that a developed myself). Thanks a lot for your help. Hamza F
