I've not done bridging or the like here so don't know the details, nor do |
| 12 |
I claim to be a routing expert, but in the hope this will at least get |
| 13 |
you pointed in the right direction... |

That sounds like a routing issue. When the bridge starts, it gets |
| 17 |
precedence routing and the regular eth0 interface drops back a notch. To |
| 18 |
correct it you'd need to adjust your routing table, presumably by |
| 19 |
specifically setting the bridge interface routing to a lower precedence. |
| 20 |
(Beyond that, I don't know, as I've simply kept note of enough info about |
| 21 |
it to know where to start reading if I ever face routing issues or need |
| 22 |
to setup additional interfaces. Hopefully, it's enough to start you in |
| 23 |
the right direction as well...) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Additionally, are you sure the bridge should be setup as eth0 when you |
| 26 |
already have an eth0? As I said, I don't know a lot about it, but I'd |
| 27 |
have expected it to be, say, eth1, not eth0, unless you indeed /did/ want |
| 28 |
it to actually replace eth0 when it was enabled. |
| 29 |

Hope it helps... and that someone who better knows the subject matter |
| 31 |
comes along with more help. =8^S |
