Thanks, I'd read that link before but it doesn't really match my dad's set-up. The link doesn't mention a version though.

I think you're mis-understanding the problem though, I'm not trying to set anything up, it was working for six months, now it's not.

I spent eight hours yesterday with ping and tcpdump, and it makes no sense... It's not even consistent at what place in the chain it stops. I still think it's related to the bridge though.

I've tried enabling/disabling STP and I've now changed the bridge-nf-call settings to 0 but it's still not working :(

Thanks
