Re: Ethernet bridging with bridge-utils kills WAN

Nikos Chantziaras a écrit :

My guess is that you forgot to recreate a default route using br0
instead of eth0. Note that letting a DHCP client daemon (dhclient or
other) running on eth0 may interfere with the bridge. If you want to
keep using DHCP, IMO you should :
- stop eth0 and its DHCP client
- create the bridge
- run the DHCP client on br0 to get the IP settings including the
default gateway.

DHCP has to be used

Then use it on br0 instead of eth0 as I said and you won't have to bother about the default route.

Now I'm left with some other problems; OpenVPN-related though. Clients can ping each other in the 10.8.0.1-50 range, but UDP broadcast doesn't seem to work. For example, computer games use it to host a game in a LAN. But since no one seems to actually see the started hosts, I assume UDP broadcast isn't working...

Don't assume. Check with your favorite packet sniffer.
