Re: Bridging Broken in 1.2?

    I am still able to talk across both sides of the bridge after clearing
    the arp cache on all machines involved, so that isn't it.

    The typical way to configure a bridge is to configure an address on only
    one of the interfaces, which is what I've done.

    Hmm.  This is interesting.  If I configure an address on both interfaces
    it only works with one of the addresses.  But I'm not sure if that type
    of configuration is even supposed to work.  Try configuring an address
    on only one of the interfaces (and do a clean reboot to test it in that
    configuration).
