Hi,

I'm wondering when I setup an ethernet bridge like this:

.--------------.            .---------.            .------.
|workstation pc|------------|bridge pc|------------|router|---------internet
'--------------'        eth0'---------'eth1        '------'

-using these commands on 'bridge pc':
||ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
||ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0
brctl addbr bridge0
brctl addif eth0
brctl addif eth1
ifconfig bridge0 up

Is there a way to detect this bridge? Is the 'bridge pc' totally transparent / invisible from both sides?

Thank you for your help.
