Also I got the ARP table stuff going but we still have the following problem.
Configuration: Mac OS 9.x, our router connected with DHCP
Problem: Mac Boots up and gets a DHCP lease but the ARP table is not
updated with the router information. I only get my own machine in
the ARP table.
Is there any way to get the arp table update with my router address?
Pinging the router doesn't do it.
Any other way to get the MAC Address of the router.
Martin,
Others can speak to the issue as to why the address of the router is
not added to the ARP table, even when the unit is pinged. however as
a 9 solution, one could open a promiscuous mode endpoint under OT,
then use OT to issue a ping, and use the promiscuous mode endpoint to
watch for the response. I have a sample which I will send you via a
separate email.
The other thought, though I've not verified this, would be to open a
raw ethernet endpoint and build a ping packet, send it and watch for
the response.
In both cases, you would use the OTInetGetInterfaceInfo call to
default router address
