Greetings, is there an easy way to modify the ARP cache timeout on FreeBSD? The reason is: I am connected via cable modem (Rogers@home). I have a static IP address assigned. The cable gateway seems to be aggresive in the ARP cache timeout. If my system doesn't generate any traffic, the gateway seems to loose the ARP entry. Since the ARP cache is not timed out on my system, I still transmit packet but don't receive anything. As soon as I forced an ARP request, 'arp -ad' command, things work again...
