[Vista] Cannot set static ARP entry?

[InlineFive]

Hello all,

I'm having troubles entering a static ARP entry in Vista.

arp -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX (as outlined in the arp help)

But it keeps saying that it cannot enter because of error 5. Apparently this means that it has to be run as an Administrator but I already made sure to open the command prompt as an Administrator.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Are you sure you elevated the cmd prompt? Does the title bar say Administrator:....?

Yes, and it does.

Very strange. 5 is access denied, but I was able to do it on my box from an elevated cmd prompt.

Have you fiddled with any UAC settings? Oh, and can you post a whoami /all output from that elevated cmd window?

I just checked and all of the User Account Control settings in the Local Security Policy are set to system defaults.

Attached is the "whoami /all" output from an elevated prompt.

That looks right.

Can you post the arp output?

Interface: xx.xxx.215.234 --- 0x8
Internet Address Physical Address Type
xx.xxx.213.16 00-1b-fc-f1-99-cc dynamic
xx.xxx.215.1 00-07-84-85-b0-1b dynamic
xx.xxx.215.255 ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff static
224.0.0.22 01-00-5e-00-00-16 static

The network is terrible here and clients keep having to broadcast to locate the gateway. This happens far too often and causes dropouts so I was trying to create a static entry for it.

Sorry, I meant the exact error text...my bad.

No problem, I greatly appreciate your help.
