At 02:46 PM 8/10/2003, Sean Estabrooks, had this to say :

Ok, this looks like the problem.

Proxyarp works by adding an entry to the ethernet device to "publish"
the ip address of the client machine.   Therefore instead of using
10.0.0.[12] you would have to use something in the 24.108.132.0 range
to make this work.

Yeah, that's what I've been able to gather. :(


Having said that, it looks to me like your ethernet device is connected
directly to an internet connection?  Cable or DSL perhaps?   If that
is true then proxyarp isn't going to work for you in your situation
to get to the outside world because your ISP restricts you to a single
IP address.

Yup, cable.


You'll have to use iptables and NAT to allow the laptop to surf the net.

Confirmed. Now to tango with that ball of wax! :S
