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, Ian -----Original Message----- From: Bill McCabe [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2000 7:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [FW1] local.arp changes still not picked up 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 At 1:16 PM -0400 9/6/00, Bill McCabe wrote: >Thanks for all the replies. I will bounce the firewall when I get the green >light from above.
