I am thinking of converting our server from windows server 2008 to ubuntu server. It serves files, provides internet, hosts gameservers etc
I tried this before and hit a brick wall with networking.
The server has 4 gigabit ethernet ports,
eth0 - provides internet from router
eth1-3 - acts as a switch and sends high speed gigabit (and internet) to all 3 desktops.
I used brctl to bridge all the connections but none of the desktops can connect into it as if traffic is being blocked.
On windows i just bridge all the connections and it works fine. Id like a similar or better setup on linux.
