Description curly 2001-03-09 12:40:04 UTC
        My FreeBSD 4.x box is act as bridge/firewall for our office, till we
got a new router. It was setup quickly, so I activate bridge code, to eliminate
setting new gateway for all servers. With my old kernel
(@(#)FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #1: Tue Feb 13 14:45:07 EET 2001), everything was fine.
        But yestarday I cvsup'd to 4.3-BETA, rebuiild world and kernel, and
fall in troubles...

Bridging is still working...I guess, boxes after my box have internet,
but my box - nope...mostly of time my box and only my box have no internet. I
cant traceroute, cant ping even and my second IP, and out router.
        Sometimes I have a internet for a while...5 up to 10 minutes, then next
half up to 2 hours I dont have any internet.
        My config is:
        rl0 inet x.y.z.245 netmask 0xfffffff0 - connected to office hup
        dc0 inet x.y.z.244 netmask 0xffffffff - connected to router via
crosslinked cable.
        gate is inet x.y.z.241 netmask 0xfffffff0

        net.link.ether.bridge: 1
        net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw: 1
        net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1

Fix: 

N/A
How-To-Repeat: Not sure. Badly effects are randomly happen.

From-To: open->closed

The originator says the problem is fixed; it was most probably 
Luigi Rizzo's fix to if_ethersubr.c that helped.
