    Ok, this looks like the problem.

    Proxyarp works by adding an entry to the ethernet device to "publish"
    the ip address of the client machine. Therefore instead of using
    10.0.0.[12] you would have to use something in the 24.108.132.0 range
    to make this work.

    Having said that, it looks to me like your ethernet device is connected
    directly to an internet connection? Cable or DSL perhaps? If that
    is true then proxyarp isn't going to work for you in your situation
    to get to the outside world because your ISP restricts you to a single
    IP address.

    You'll have to use iptables and NAT to allow the laptop to surf the net.

    Definitely can relate to that ;o)
