Hi,

I am having problems getting something fixed.
What I actually want to achieve is this:


--> WLAN-connection --> [wlan0] Linux Server [eth0] --> Switch --> Clients

So I have WPA wlan internet connection. The wlan0 interface works fine. The eth0 interface is also working and their is also an eth1 which I use for running other services like Gameservers.

By an upcomming Lan-party I would like to share the wifi internet connection with the Linux-server via the switch to all the participants.

I have read some topics on bridging, wich I indeed tried. I created the bridge, but for some reason i can not connect via the WLAN to the internet. What could I have missed? or are there other solutions then bridging? I am using Mandriva Linux 2008 free.

This is my ifconfig output:
