Linux Bridge
So I have my computer running FC3 and I want to use it as a bridge. So after searching the net all sites end up linking to bridge.sourceforge.net where you can download bridge-utils. So I got and installed that, but when I run test it says that ifconfig isnt installed. So I found a net-tools RPM which has ifconfig and when I tried to install that it said its already installed. But yet ifconfig won't work. Any ideas? Is bridge-utils the best way to go about this?

It maybe not be in your path. Try:
cd /sbin ifconfig Does it work then? HTH |

Well that works (/sbin and /usr/sbin werent in the path so I added them), so now about the bridging. How do I accomplish that with linux?

/sbin hasn't been in PATH in RH for a long time. It goes way back. For anything in /sbin you have to use the full path, /sbin/[command]. It's in path for just about every other distro I can think of. It's just an RH quirk.

Ill check out those links, thanks! Yeah, I used Ubuntuu before RH and /sbin was in teh path already. I was REALLY confused as to why ifconfig wouldn't work and the PATH didn't even cross my mind =\
