Using ARP in Windows 95/98 and Windows NT
Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using ARP:
1. Start a DOS window.
2. Type the following commands:
arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address>
ping <IP address>
arp -d <IP address>
Example:
arp -s 192.168.234.196 00-10-40-00-36-10
ping 192.168.234.196
arp -d 192.168.234.196
The host will return
Reply from 192.168.234.196
... or
a similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and
that communication is established.
Notes:
- Enter the Ethernet address as couples of digits separated by
hyphen signs as shown in the example above.
- When using the Windows 95 implementation of ARP, change
the first line to:
arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address>
<w95host IP address>
, where
<w95host IP ad-
dress>
is the IP address of your Windows 95 host.
- When you execute the
ping
command for the first time, you
will experience a significantly longer response time than is
usual.
- By using the
arp -d
command, the static entry in the arp
table is removed from the host’s cache memory.
- If ARP does not work, check if RARP is disabled on the TCP/IP
home page, see
Appendix 1; Configuration; Network Interface;
1. TCP/IP
. If so, change to enable.
