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.
