this means that the ip address you gave the client is not on the same
subnet as the ethernet card that is supposed to be proxy arp'ing for it.

If the clients aren't on the same subnet, then there isn't any reason to
do proxy arp, since arp finds the mac address of an ip on the same subnet
only. If the client is on a different subnet, then routing needs to be
used. 

If you dont want to do routing, just make sure hte clcient's address is on
the same subnet as the eth card that you want to do proxy arp for it.
