The modem in my Oronico RG 1000 gave out in a T-storm a few days ago.
Since I use a wireless home network extensively, I got kind of creative
and installed a Lucent modem in my desktop server, enabled ppp
(/usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -ddial -nat default), enabled the gateway function,
assigned a static address to my xl0 Ethernet interface, the wireless
router, and the client laptop computers.

Everything seems to work just fine --all the client laptops can connect to
the internet without any problems (except bandwidth, but that's another
circumstance, entirely).

Ont the gateway machine in dmesg, I now have the following message
repeated over and over:

arplookup 0.0.0.0 failed: host is not on local network


The tun0 interface isconfigured via ppp, the xl0 interface is 10.0.1.2,
the client machines all start at 10.0.1.4 (10.0.1.3 is the wireless
router).  I remember having a similar message a couple of years ago when I
was using an Apple Airport as my router, but at that time the address that
arplookup failed on was the actual IP address being assigned via ppp by my
ISP.

The gateway machine is running 4.6-STABLE cvsupped and built as of July
9th, 2002.

Any ideas on what might be wrong or how I can suppress/fix this message?

Thanks in advance.
