I have two ethernet adapters on my machine I would like to set up a bridge so the machine is not able to access the internet, only bridge the adapters so I can monitor packets
I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Are you saying you want to configure the machine in such a way that they communicate with each other but cannot be accessed by someone using the machine?
I think it would help if you were to clarify how the box is currently set up and what you want to do with it.
