[aclug-L] debian, ppp, and ipmasq

[Jeremy King <soapboxalpha@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just finished installing debian (2.2) on a little
box for use as a gateway (NAT over a ppp connection)
for my home LAN. I got ppp running to do an ftp
installation.  However, after completing the install,
the ppp ceased to function.  I was getting this error
message from pppd:

> cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP

I removed ipmasq, which totally eliminated the error
and my ppp connection problems.  Since ipmasq is the
whole reason I'm setting up this box, could someone
explain to me what is causing the problem?

I got the impression from the ipmasq package
description in dselect that ipmasq is basically set up
to work without further configuration.  Is this not
true, or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Jeremy
