I see your point here. But, wouldn't wouldn't proxy need to be enabled
in ppp.conf since:
proxy
Default: Disabled. Enabling this option will tell ppp to
proxy
ARP for the peer. This means that ppp will make an entry
in the
ARP table using HISADDR and the MAC address of the local
network
in which HISADDR appears. This allows other machines
connecteed
to the LAN to talk to the peer as if the peer itself was
connect-
ed to the LAN. The proxy entry cannot be made unless
HISADDR is
an address from a LAN.
And, Robert has enable proxy commented out. This is my hunch since it
is ppp's job to make the peer be visible to the LAN as if it were
connected directly.
