2924.0. "ARP behavior?" by DIVING::DAVIS (Windows NT systems to go!! - DTN 339-5401) Wed May 07 1997 10:05

	I was trying to set the IP address of a DEClaser 5100 the other day and in order
to do this you have to set the hardware address of the printer network interface in the
arp cache and then ping the printer.

	According to the Windows 95 resource kit, Windows 95 should allow this. I attempted
to set the arp cache just the manual described:

		 arp -s 192.246.0.25  00-40-11-16-b1-c8
	
	However, when I check the cache to see if the static arp entry is there, I get nothing..

		arp -a 
		<no arp entries>

	Does anyone know why arp commands don't seem to work right on Windows 95? I used
Windows NT to issue the exact same commands and it worked fine. I was able to set up my printer
correctly with NT. I tried this on two different Windows 95 systems and they both exhibited
similar behaviour.
