1. proxy arp should be transparent to end users.  Default gateway is still needed, but it's not necessarily pointing to the proxy-arp-enabled router.
2. not configurable for client machines.   Turn it on on routers (default for cisco).  You can check by "arp -a" in dos, which shows the proxy-arp-enabled router's mac address associating with any non-local ip address.

Subject: Proxy ARP Question

I have 2 questions about Proxy ARP that I hope someone could answer for me:
 
1.  Does a client machine that uses Proxy ARP have a default gateway?
 
2.  How can you tell if your machine uses Proxy ARP or not?  I know that it depends if it is in the TCP/IP stack, but is there someway to tell?  Is it something that you can turn of or on in say, Windows NT?
 
Thanks.
