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



It is IP, then MAC. 

Remember, it will not work unless you have a NAT rule in place.

Your local.arp file is backwards.  It should be in the format (I thnk
the FAQ listed it worng, as I just got this out of the CP books):

<MAC ADDR>	<IP ADDR>

Not the other way around.  Change it, reboot, you should be cool.
