Is there any ability to perform Mac Layer Filtering with the Windows XP bridge
in Windows XP Home and Windows XP Professional.

Out of the box I'm afraid there isn't, Ross. Maybe this would be a job
for a good consumer-grade router?

Hope this helps -

Thanks for the answer. It is (unfortunately) the answer I expected.

I am using the Windows bridge with the WIN32-TAP virtual adapter. It is
used to hook a variety of 'virtual environments' that run on top of Windows
XP to windows networks, including: colinux, openvpn and pearpc, so
unfortunately a third party consumer router is not an option in this
scenario. A networking solution with Mac layer filtering within the Windows
environments is what is needed.

Anyway, thank you again for your answer.
