Re: ppp and proxy ARP?

["Marc Mongeon" <Mongeon@bankoe.com>]

Proxy ARPing makes the peer look like it's on the local LAN,
which you don't want, so either remove "proxyarp" from your
list of pppd options, or add "noproxyarp".

Hi guys.

I was looking through my ppp.log and I found this little line:

Sep 29 13:04:27 fire pppd[15499]: Cannot determine ethernet address
for proxy ARP

I've been trying to look through mailing lists for other people with
this problem, but really haven't turned up much.  Can anyone tell me
if this is a problem, and where I should look to fix it?

Thanks.

Oh, I'm running potato, and a 2.2.12 kernel.  pppd version 2.3.9.
This machine is acting as a gateway for my network, and doing
ipmasquerading.
