My experience of ARP packets (in win) is that you don't even know you're being exposed of them, no message box or anytning. Another thing that bothered me was that I couldn't add a static addres of a IP in my ARP cache. In Linux I could add them static, then a ARP packet can't change them, but in windows the static flag doesen't seem to have any effect, tried on several windows boxes but the same result: an ARP packet _did_ change a static address, don't know if the static flag in win has the same purpose as in Linux. btw, only tested on win95 boxes. hope you understand my explanation :) //Knegge #define E-Mail "kneggeat_private" #define Sysadmin "Beacon AB, K1nu!" #define IRCNICK "Knegge" _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
