That's not a stale arp entry. That's just the kernel noting that it has sent out an arp request and never received a response, so it won't send another before the retransmission interval has elapsed. It's not an entry in the arp cache. Removing it will not solve your problem, whatever it is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
