Hello

I've got this Mini-PC https://www.zotac.com/product/mini_pcs/zbox-ci323-nano

everything is fine -> latest 6.8 kernel works; both Ethernet-Interfaces work and also the WLAN-Interface works;

the two Ethernet-Interfaces are eth0 and eth1 the WLAN-Interface is wlan0

eth1 is connected on ISP side eth0 is connected on my LAN side to a switch; and wlan0 shall also be on my LAN side für wireless and work as an Access-Point (this works)

I want both LAN interfaces (eth0 and wlan0) have the same IP subnet so I did this: http://www.microhowto.info/howto/persistently_bridge_traffic_between_two_or_...

also the DHCP works fine: both DHCP and DHCPv6; RADVd also works fine;

in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ I added ifcfg-sit1 with the configuration for my IPv6 tunnel at Hurricane Electric there is the following entry: IPV6TUNNELIPV4LOCAL=ipv4addr here the 1st question: does this have to be the IPv4 address of br0 (LAN) or the one of eth1 (WAN)? (before I had this on a virtual machine, there was only one interface, but here ...?)

and now the bigger problem:

here just the IP addresses for better troubleshooting;

the ISP installed a box (NAT router), that is a medium converter (coaxial cable to ethernet twisted-pair cable), too; this box has on WAN side, my public IP an LAN side it has 192.168.0.1

this box which should be installed instead of my old NAT-router has the following IP addresses on device br0 192.168.1.100 (LAN) and on device eth1 (WAN) 192.168.0.127 the old router has on LAN side 192.168.1.254 and on WAN side 192.168.0.254 now both the new box and the old router are connected "parallel" which means, each is connected with its WAN interfaces to the built-in switch of ISP-box and with its LAN interfaces to my switch;

on the old NAT-router I have defined the LAN-IP of the new box as DHCP relay; this works fine; (the new box is the only DHCP server in LAN)

I have several virtual machines which have configured the old NAT-router als gateway; they all work fine; one virtual machine (OS = Win7) has the new box configured as gateway with IP address 192.168.1.6

I have a old notebook (OS = WinXP) that is "connected" via WLAN to the new box and this has 192.168.1.4 as IP address; both can ping each other the VM and this notebook;

here the questions: should I use eth0 and wlan0 or br0 in the iptables and ip6tables roules? why is it possible to ping the VM or the notebook from the new box, but not the other way?

Thanks for any help;

Greetings, Walter
