You must use NATD to do what you're trying to do. >I had it working once using PPP by playing with manual settings which >I thought I documented well, but now can't reproduce >:-( And never will. >I haven't yet gotten PPPD to work with the proxyarp. You're barking up the wrong tree trying to do network address translation (NAT) by using proxyarp. I use proxyarp to make some of my downstream modem clients look like they're on my local ethernet, so they can use static IP addresses which belong to my ethernet network number. That's one purpose of proxyarp, but it has nothing to do with network address translation where 192.168.x.x hosts are allowed to talk on the Internet.
