If I understand you correctly, you want to disable the arp protocol so that the only entries in your arp table are the static ones that you add. If that is the case, you want to use the -arp option to ifconfig to disable arp on the interface in qestion. Keep in mind, that disabling the arp protocol means your box will not respond to arp request, so all host on your network must be configured in this manner (I hope it is a small network :-) -stacy -- If they keep lowering education standards and raising the price of gasoline, there are going to be a lot of stupid people walking around.
