Isn't it odd that my gateway is another user rather than the ISP?
Should I be worried about all this?
Yes, you should. Is it staticly configured or obtained from ISP's dhcp
I called my ISP, and this is apparently one of their servers. I don't
know why it's called user-whatever. So all is well on that front.
Regarding the original issue ("arptables: unable to enter address"): I
unhooked the ISP's (misconfigured) Motorola modem and hooked up my own
cable-modem, and haven't had any problems. No more arptables errors.
Thanks for all your help, guys.
