Hello to the list server trying to finish debugging my server here, I =
get the following error in the /var/log/syslog=20

"Jan 24 16:20:46 servername pppd[167]: Cannot determine ethernet address =
for proxy ARP"

This only accures when I dial into the PPPD server. I think I just don't =
have something set correctly.=20

Below is the configuration I have for the dialup port in my rc.inet1 =
file.

"/sbin/route add 192.168.100.2 gw 168.179.237.137 metric 1"
"/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a accept -m -P all -S 192.168.100.2 -D 0.0.0.0/0"

Everything on the Dial-in seems to work great but I do get the error in =
the log file.

If I do a ifconfig command it does show the ppp ports as devices and set =
up with there own IP address's example below.

ppp0 Link encap:Point-Point Protocol
inet addr:168.179.237.137 P-t-P:192.168.100.2 =
Mask:255.255.255.0
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:688 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:541 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0

If anyone can help with this error and help in debuging this I would be =
in your dept.

Thanks alot in advanced.
