Thanks for trying to help, John. I'm able to get the OpenBSD machine to
talk to the cable-modem box. Almost everything works fine.
The only problem is this repeated log message every fifteen minutes:
Feb 3 15:13:58 rock /bsd: arplookup: unable to enter address for
24.aaa.bbb.ccc
(24.aaa.bbb.ccc is the WAN address of the cable-modem box.)
I don't know if this is serious. If it is, I'd like to solve it; if
not, I'd like to turn it off.
It's curious that the outside interface address on the cable modem is
showing up for any reason on the internal network. If your modem is
configured as a routing device, there's no reason you should see that.
You might use tcpdump or similar on your internal network to determine
what kind of traffic it relates to.
Note also that figuring this out is a bit harder if you don't
understand the overall architecture of what things are set up like now
and how you want them to be set up in the end. Might help if you
diagram it out, indicate IP addresses and subnets, and so on.
