I loaded the kernel module for rarp support, and added entries into the rarp tables for the client machine, but neglected to start a listener -- rarpd! Unfortunately, I had the same experience you did, there is no rarpd in my distribution. I was able to download the source for rarpd from dimensia.org (found it on freshmeat). Although it was somewhat of a PITA, I did get it to compile.

Yes, I am sure because I can see the activity on the hub -- the client is sending, but the server never responds. Also, no connection is recorded in the logs. > >Use tcpdump on the server to find out if the server is responding or > >not. I'll give this a try, maybe I can get more debugging data... Thanks guys!
