I don't think that arp is going to work correctly here! I suspect that you really want to sub-network the larger 100.0/16 block into smaller blocks (eg. a 100.0.0/24 subnet and a 100.0.1/24 subnet). If this is so, the netmasks should be 255.255.255.0 which will allow 254 hosts [256 - 2] on each LAN segment. Tony
