In Doyle's TCP/IP book (page 69-70) & in other text there is about Proxy
ARP. Says that hosts without any default gateway can be issue ARP & LAN
router (knowing where the destination is) will issue PROXY ARP reply. So the
local host (without default gateway) can reach remote hosts. I can't see
this working with NT 4 or Win 95 unless I assign the PCs own address as its
default gateway. My question is, do Unix clients behave the same as
Microsoft clients? If so, what am I missing?
Many thanks & regards.
