Date: 19 Sep 1994 17:50:57 GMT Organization: Merix Corporation Lines: 11 Message-ID: <35kj21$jk6@pdx1.i.net> References: <CwCoM1.1qx@srgenprp.sr.hp.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: merix.com Proxy-arp is broken in FreeBSD 1.1.5.1. I have the same problem using my home machine to talk to my LAN'ned work machines. About the best/only way to make this work is to do the arp -s on your work machine, and leave the proxyarp option off your PPP line. Proxyarp not only is broken, it somehow screws up your ability to 'kill' a session. The session just hangs there until you kill -9 it... I have email out to some folks who wrote the pppd program, and have yet to really hear anything. (proxyarp DOES work on our Suns). Anyone feel ambitious enough to play with this before 2.0 comes out????
