I apologize if these are basic questions but I'm still having trouble putting the pieces together. My first thought was to use a virtual interface but.. brctl addif br0 eth0:0 ..added eth0 not eth0:0 and killed the network connection. Do I need to add a second network card or can I use eth0? To route a public block over a private one is this what I have to do? 10.0.0.2<>1.2.3.4<->4.3.2.1<>10.0.0.1 <> 4.3.2.2<->4.3.2.3 tap-win32 <-----> eth0 <> br0 <> tap0 <> eth0:0 <-> SMTP Or, route a public block directly like this? XP side: --route 4.3.0.0 255.255.0.0 if --float is used on the Linux side how do I identify that address for routing? I am still unclear on the concepts and unsure on which method is most appropriate for this situation. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Colin It's possible to --ifconfig a private address block, but then to route a public block over it. It is also possible to --ifconfig a public address pair directly, but you must make sure at either end that there's no routing conflict. I've personally done the former, and I've seen others do the later.
