hi Joost, I setup a bridge on my debian machine so I can run qemu on it so my network setup script changed from this one: --- the old one --------------------------------------------------------- link set eth0 up dhclient eth0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- to this one--- the new one --------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh -uex # 02:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is for private mac addrs # eth0 is wired to the internet box # (router, dhcp server and port forwarding) <<% ip -b - link add name br0 type bridge link set br0 address 02:00:00:00:00:00 link set eth0 master br0 link set eth0 up link set br0 up % dhclient br0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I restarted all the services and everything (ssh, git, ....) is fine but merecat. /etc/merecat.conf:hostname is commented so merecat should listen on all interfaces and doas ss -lp |grep http tells me: tcp LISTEN 0 1024 *:http *:* yet, merecat answers only on lo. I started digging in the code but I have no patch to provide for now. regards Marc
