The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5 
 - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5 
 - Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARP -D and ARP -S commands may not function correctly under Windows NT 3.5
and Microsoft TCP/IP-32.

Example
-------

To see what's currently in the ARP cache:

   c:>arp -a
   No ARP Entries Found

Attempt to add an entry:

   c:>arp -s 22.101.9.229 08-00-09-12-34-56 22.101.102.207
   The ARP entry addition failed: 3

Check the cache again:

   c:>arp -a
   No ARP Entries Found
   c:>ipconfig

      22.101.101.15         00-20-af-1d-2b-91     dynamic

Ping the address and let ARP fill in the cache:

   c:>ping 22.101.101.15

   Pinging 22.101.101.15 with 32 bytes of data:
