can't see server machine after running bridge start script

[clecol]

Hey all,
I'm trying to get a Ubuntu 10.04 openvpn server up and running. My server is behind a router where it has a fixed IP address of 192.168.66.112. The router has been configured to port forward ports 22 (for ssh) and 1194 (vpn) through to that address. When the machine boots up normally, I can ssh into the machine from the outside world and everything is good until I run the bridge_start script modified from here http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-sourc ... dging.html:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
br="br0"
tap="tap0"
eth="eth0"
eth_ip="192.168.66.112"
eth_netmask="255.255.255.0"
eth_broadcast="192.168.66.1"

for t in $tap; do
    openvpn --mktun --dev $t
done

brctl addbr $br
brctl addif $br $eth

for t in $tap; do
    brctl addif $br $t
done

for t in $tap; do
    ifconfig $t 0.0.0.0 promisc up
done

ifconfig $eth 0.0.0.0 promisc up

ifconfig $br $eth_ip netmask $eth_netmask broadcast $eth_broadcast

When I run that script, I can't ssh into the server anymore...but I can't seem to get the iptables correct as to allow traffic to flow through as intended Any gurus out there have any advice?

does the machine still have a gateway when you run your script? it could be as simple as adding a line to the script to re-add your gateway.
