Wired <-> wirreless bridge not working

[MRX]

Hi all,

try'd all day, but really need help.

I have a server with wired and wireless network. the server is attached to a internet gateway (router)
I want to bridge these. I installed bridge-utills and created a bridge:

ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0
brctl addbr bridge
brctl addif eth0
brctl addif wlan0
ifconfig bridge up

When i connect to the wireless lan, my laptop is able to use the dhcp from the router, so the bridge does forward dhcp.
But when i try to connect to the internet nothing works... i created a route to my gateway, but this does not help. I can access my samba shares on the server, so wireless is working.

It seems that only dhcp is forwarded, but nothing else...
I disabled the firewall, but still no good.

Anny help is appreciated,
Regards MRX

Re: Wired &lt;-&gt; wirreless bridge not working

as far as wired eth is concerned...
i think i remember that setting a fake ip address to the bridge client helped.
i had the following in my /etc/network/interfaces file:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.77.77.77
netmask 255.255.255.0
#
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_maxwait 3
