Explanation:

: There are times where you will need to add static NAT entries, however, NT does not allow this

follows:
Translated IP MAC Address.
On Windows and Solaris, you can display a list of current ARP entries by issuing the command
“arp -a”. See Page 235 of Syngress Book ” Check Point NG – Next Generation Administration”.
