[HECnet] Problem running bridge on Linux

The relevant part of my bridge.conf reads as follows: [bridge] local eth0 sampsa silverback.sampsa.com Any ideas? If I remember correctly, you must tell it a port number for any remote bridge or it will consider "silverback.sampsa.com" and such as a local device, which obviously does not exist. Try appending ":4711" or whatever at the end of the second line :) G.
