I've tried using arp_ignore, setting it to 3, but the poor local
computer that has the same ip address as the remote end of the tunnel's
ppp interface still gets shafted as soon as it tries to access a network
share.

Is this to do with Windows networking? Because arp_ignore definitely
controls whether or not I can ping the ppp interface's two ip addresses.

Maybe there's some way of blocking arp responses for those particular
addresses?

Thanks again,
Tom
