All of the replys I have received so far are the same thing
I found in the archives. It seems to either work or it doesn't.
What I'm thinking is maybe Verizon gives people different modems.
My modem says it's a DSL2+Router, so maybe it would work if it was
just a DSL2 modem without the Router?
This morning I noticed something new in the plog:
Jan 18 10:05:43 lotek pppd[4903]: pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0
Jan 18 10:05:43 lotek pppd[4903]: Using interface ppp0
Jan 18 10:05:43 lotek pppd[4903]: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP
Jan 18 10:05:43 lotek pppd[4903]: local IP address 10.64.64.64
Jan 18 10:05:43 lotek pppd[4903]: remote IP address 10.112.112.112
Does anyone know how I can fix the "Cannot determine ethernet address
for proxy ARP"? I've been reading "man pppd" and the "options" file,
but I haven't figured it out yet.
