I would suggest you tell us

I would suggest you tell us a little more about how you are set up - I find it suprising that you have a "ppp0" there - unless you have a dial-up modem running as well, or a SLIPPP daemon.

You can't find the address for the proxy ARP - that could be due to your route. A few things to do:

1. After "defaultroute" in your dsl-provider file, put:
replacedefaultroute

2. To avoid confusion with how eth0 is used, edit the /etc/network/interfaces file, comment out the eth0 line (put # in front of each) and have these lines instead:
iface eth0 inet manual
That way, the interface is brought up but left unconfigured; after all you don't want to confuse the modem by sending other network traffic down the line.

Oh - are those M$ .doc files you attached? If they are, don't do that - just post plain text files.
