| Now, I _know_ that the zeroth host is kinda special, but my new ISP has
| me set up this way:
| 
| 	My net-block	208.25.86.144/28
| 	Gateway		208.25.86.144  (ie, host #0 in my subnet)
[...]
| 
| Is there any hope for me?  Is there anything I can do to make ARP handle
| the zeroth host?  Or am I doomed?  :)



point this out to your ISP. hopefully they just made a typo and
did not intend to do this.

if your ISP did this intentionally, run, don't walk, to a new ISP.
