[Bridge] Bridge and iptables

[Sathyan M]

Hi,

I am using linux kernle-2.6.15, iptables-1.4 and bridge-utils-1.4.
Everything intslled without any issue and i am able to enable the
bridge and traffic is also flowing without any issue.

But i did not see any traffic on the iptables forward chain due to
which i am not able to control the traffic.

Do i requie enable anything more to make the traffic pass through
iptables forward chain.

Please look into the configuration
