Hi everyone,
I need som info about the Ethereal.
I have a machine, running Linux with two Network cards one is fxp1 which is
connected
to an internal Network and fxp0 which is connected to an external network.
I run FreeBSD on this machine.

The situation is I use Ethernet over IP tunneling. The fxp0 is one of the
ends in this tunnel.
I have a bridge between fxp1 and fxp0 which means every frames sent to the
fxp1 from an
internal client, will flow directly to the tunnel interface(fxp0) to be
sent.

Now the problem: how can I prevent ARP requests from being sent through the
tunnel.
I need some filtering mechanism in my bridge to filter ARP requests.

Can I use Ethereal? and How does the configuration look like?

Best regards

/ Adrian
