    List readers,

    I just finished a 6.2 install and I have an ARP problem. The target
    in the ARP datagrams is empty. I have manually set the ARP table and it
    works fine, but I would like to get it working properly.

    Any Ideas?

    73,
    Ken AB5A

    below is a question in newsgroups that is the exact problem I am having.
