if your network is properly split in 2, you dont need proxy arp, except if you didn't changed the client station (in those times, you really like DHCP) .. if you did not, simply enable proxy_arp on all interfaces (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/proxy_arp) and this should make the trick. to check if it is working, you should see: - station A connected to port A of router arp for station B connected to port B of the router. - Router interface A answer with it's own ethernet address. - here we go.
