Matthew,
I may be able to help you with this, since I have some experience
with wireless networking under Linux.

The error message "Destination Host Unreachable" is being returned
precisely because your server's ARP requests are not being answered,
leading to the incomplete entry in the ARP table.
When this problem occurs, do the other machines that are not behind
