ARP reports the hardware (MAC) addresses of the network segment you are connected to. In the case of a local connection to a router, ARP reports the address of the LAN side of the router. The WAN side will often be one number away. >> C:\Documents and Settings\brent>arp -a >> >> Interface: 192.168.1.1 --- 0x2 >> Internet Address Physical Address Type >> 192.168.1.1 00-16-B6-32-43-26 dynamic >> ---------- >> >> I'm not sure WHAT MAC address that ARP is reporting as my router tells me >> it's MAC address is one higher (i.e., 00-16-B6-32-43-27). >> >> Any ideas on what this is telling me? -- John FAQ for Wireless Internet: <http://wireless.navas.us> FAQ for Wi-Fi: <http://wireless.navas.us/wiki/Wi-Fi> Wi-Fi How To: <http://wireless.navas.us/wiki/Wi-Fi_HowTo> Fixes to Wi-Fi Problems: <http://wireless.navas.us/wiki/Wi-Fi_Fixes> |
