    Hi Tomi, Hi all,

    I checked in the directory /usr/src/Linux/Documentation but I didn't find
    the sysctl parameter to modify the ARP timeout.
    I only found the file /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/Configurable
    which tell /proc/sys/net/ipv4/arp_timeout but I remenber it was for the
    kernel 2.0.x.
    In /proc/sys/net/neigh I have no entry for this function...
    Did this possibility abolished in the kernel 2.2.x?

    Thanks for your help.

    F1TVE - Thierry

    It's in the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh directory. I don't remember the exact
    files right now. Read proc.txt (you can find it somewhere in
    /usr/src/linux/Documentation), especially the part about "Network Neighbor
    handling".
