OK, I have put the FC scripts in place as ifcfg-eth[012] and ifcfg-br0,
and put the script as /etc/rc.d/init.d/network

The system seems to come up sane and working internally.  However, it
cannot 'ping' out, or be 'ping'ed in by another machine on the LAN.  Both
say 'no route to host'

ifconfig now says:

I set the bridge IP address to 192.168.1.64, with a netmask of 255.255.255.0
The other machine on the LAN is at 192.168.1.10

route says:

   Kernel IP routing table
   Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
   192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br0

It seems so close, but something is still missing - any ideas ?

Jonathan
