Hello,

I am not a networking expert so just wanted to see if someone could clarify something for me about my Network and NAT config. I found out about zeroshell yesterday from an article on linuxplanet which linked to a HOWTO article. Just what I was looking for.

I have my zeroshell router up and running, its a simple setup with two ethernet adapters one connected via PPPoE to my ISP through a dsl modem and the other to a switch for the LAN side. It all seems to be working after some futzing around. Got my basic firewall rules working, port forwarding etc.

I couldn't work out what the author of the article meant when he said to create a bridge with internet connection and ethernet interfaces and then to put the bridge in NAT enabled interfaces. Everytime I tried to do this part I lost the internet connection. What I have working is no bridges setup and just the ppp interface being NAT enabled.

The article in question is here: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/6751/2/

here is my ifconfig and netstat output, just curious if I am doing something wrong, thanks
