I did a search on Google, RedHat and the list archives but did not find any answers to my nagging problem. I can successfully access my RHL7.2 login prompt over a null modem direct serial link from my laptop using a terminal program. I also can make a successful ppp connection with this same laptop to my RHL 7.2 box BUT on the laptop the netmask and router/default gateway are empty. However, I can connect from the laptop to my RHL 7.2 box on this same ppp connection BUT i can not go any farther. I do have the proxyarp option specified but it spits out the "Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP" error message.
What am I missing?
TIA
