bridge causes connection problems

Post by rwreed »

I am using Kubuntu for the host and XP for the guest. I created a host bridge as specified in the manual. However the bridge seems to cause some problems for both Google Desktop and Amarok. Both tell me they are unable to contact the server. If I disable the bridge all is well. Here's the bridge code:

Code: Select all

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
#iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto eth2
#iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto ath0
#iface ath0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp

auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
	bridge_ports eth0
I need to do the bridging so that my computers are all on the same subnet (otherwise tivo desktop server won't work).

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Randy
