As for the module unloading, just don't specify --autoclean when you `insmod` it. (You might have to specifically `insmod cipcb` instead of letting it be loaded automatically to make this work.) -----Original Message----- From: D A [mailto:dabbleri,AT,hotmail,DOT,com Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2001 2:20 PM To: peter,AT,asylum,DOT,xs4all,DOT,nl Cc: cipe-l,AT,inka,DOT,de Subject: Re: Bridging two networks, need broadcast Greetings, >So, anyone out there anyone actually used cipe 1.5 with Linux bridging? Yes, I've been running CIPE 1.51 as "encrypting bridge" between two sites. It works really well, everything (not including DOS print server, heh heh) works for both sides of bridge. We use mainly IP and IPX. Windows SMB clients / servers, novell IP / IPX clients & servers, proxy, internet and everything else works for both buildings. Both are in same IP subnet. Only thing causing problems right now are novell DOS print servers, looks like there is some weird problem with CIPE & SPX & NOVELL DOS client... DOS client keeps reporting that server has no free slots for connections :-) It required some tweaking to CIPE source code to get everything working.(good old "cipe_xmit size problem") So, it really is possible to succesfully run an Ethernet bridge over CIPE. Thanks to every and each of Cipe developers and contributors, you made me happy :-) One question thought: Is it possible to specify some option, which would make ciped stay loaded even when cipbd0 interface gets disabled... its pain in the ass when power gets cut from other site - bridge on other building notices its partner has gone down and disables CIPE interface, that causes ciped to unload itself... and bridge sure won't load cipe stuffs again when interface gets enabled again!
