RE: [FW1] local.arp changes still not picked up



Hi Bill,



The MAC entries in my (4.1 SP2, NT4 SP6a and working fine) local.arp file
are of the form

00:50:8b:91:b5:aa

Note the colons used rather than the dashes I see listed below. Don't know
if this will help, but worth a shot I suppose. I had to do an fwstop\fwstart
to have this take affect,

Sadly, the new proxy ARP entries still didn't take after a fwstop/start,

and even a reboot. The old one still works fine. The network objects and

rules are patterned identically to the working one, which was set up

according to the instructions in the Phoneboy FAQ. I clearly must be

missing something, unless it has to do with the limitations of Windows NT

4.0 Workstation, or the fact that the internal NIC is Token Ring. Any

suggestions or leads would be greatly appreciated.



Bill
