Hi guys,

I've got a Solaris 10 (on x86) networking issue I just can't resolve. I setup a Linksys WRT54GS as an Ethernet Bridge. I turned DHCP on the Bridge off, since address are handed out from the other router. Bridge configuration:

IP: 192.168.1.254
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 <--this is the wireless router
DNS: 74.128.17.114

SPI firewall is turned off on the Bridge.

I have a Windows XP client plugged into the Bridge receiving settings via DHCP. It works perfectly.

However, the Solaris 10 machine plugged into the Bridge, doesn't work. I first tried it via DHCP, and it seemed to have picked up the correct settings, but I couldn't connect to the Internet or any remote hosts. In fact, I couldn't even ping the DNS server listed above! I figured I'd give it a shot with static settings, so I re-configured with the following settings:

IP: 192.168.1.104
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 74.128.17.114
hostname: unknown

These are the same settings that Windows XP reported (obviously the IP didn't end in 104). I still cannot access the Internet, or any remote hosts, or ping my DNS servers. I can, however, access the Bridge and wifi router both over the web and via telnet/ssh.

I'm really pretty confused here, it should just work. Is there some obscure setting somewhere I don't know of, or some special way it has to be setup for use behind a Bridge?

Thanks in advance,

~Slow
