are you talking about turning your linux box into a bridge? it's not clear
what you exactly refer to by 'statically hide'.

you'll need to supply more details, e.g.:

1. what is the address attached to your eth0 interface.
2. your routing table.
3. the mac address of eth0, and the mac address you gave on the 'arp'
   command.

without this, i would guess that you're publisihing an arp entry for an
address that your linux box does not know how to route to.
