>From sys-linux.c in the ppp-2.3.5 source code where the error originates:
/*
* Get the hardware address of an interface on the same subnet
* as our local address.
*/
if (!get_ether_addr(his_adr, &arpreq.arp_ha, arpreq.arp_dev))
{
syslog(LOG_ERR, "Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy
ARP");
return 0;
}
I'm not an expert but I would _guess_ this means that the the client-side
IP address used for the ppp connection is not a valid IP address for the
subnet to which the server-side box is attached. This is required in order
for proxy arp to work.
:I have a problem. i want that the client that dials in to my computer to
:be vis ible in my LAN to other computers. I entered the proxyarp feature
:in /etc/ppp/o ptions and pppd says: Could not determine arp address
:What does it mean?
