Defining br0 in packet filter section

Real newb question!

Trying to setup road warrior with access to local network using 7.0.

I have eth0 ( internet ) and eth1 ( local ) setup.  In network > bridging section the note says "However, such traffic must still be allowed in packet filter configuration".  I've done an any > any > any, but when I bridge I lose communications with the external nic.

Can some one direct me in the right direction.  Thanks.

Will remote access - VPN - work with bridging? The remote user is going to get an IP address, and because the default gateway is probably set to the external interface, they'll always route in that direction.

So... why are you bridging?

Good point - That may be my problem!

But the VPN does not work after bridging. I lose all connectivity from internet side ( both webadmin and user portal ).

My original purpose was to provide the gateway and local network access to the RW.

I'm still not sure why you're bridging instead of routing.

If you route, stuff works, and you can open up the firewall to provide access to whatever you want....
