I have a Link Node here running 5.75.  I am a first time Wellfleet user
and am trying to set it up to use Proxy ARP.  A and B are hosts on either
side of the router.  I can ping both A and B from the Wellfleet, but cannot
talk to A from B or visa versa.  Neither have a gateway defined to the
router and neither run RIP.  They do each have a default route defined so
that packets to unknown nets just get spit out thru each machines single
interface; thus relying on Proxy ARP to resolve the IP number into an
ethernet address.  Is there anything I don't know about Wellfleet's Proxy
ARP?

Thanx for any suggestions.
