Please don't remove the context. I need to dig it out again to remember what this is all about...

If tcpdump shows arp not answering when you try to send something via the gateway, it should show it when you try to ping. If it still doesn't work, please save the tcpdump output to a file and post it. And copy -questions, please. Other people have these problems too, and they would be interested in seeing the results.
