First, i want to say Thank You for your patience and advice. You've really stuck with this. Please tell me who I can give an "atta-boy" to on your behalf!
Regarding ARP:
a) I can't log into the router with Telnet. It wants a username/password combo which does not seem to be my own. That is why I looked at the DHCP table to confirm MAC number previously.
b) Sveasoft provides a command line feature. When I type "/sbin/arp -a", it comes back saying it doesn't know "arp"
Edit: a bit of internet searching turned up the username/password combo. But "arp" is still not found. Here is a listing of sbin and bin:
Code:
/sbin # ls
adjtimex gpio ifup lsmod process_monitor route vconfig
check_ps halt init modprobe rc sendudp watchdog
check_ses_led hb_connect insmod nameif reboot setpasswd wland
ddns_success hb_disconnect ipupdated ntpd redial site_survey wol
erase hotplug klogd pivot_root resetbutton stats write

/sbin # cd /bin
/bin # ls
ash chmod dd egrep grep kill mkdir mv ps sed sync umount watch
busybox chown df false gunzip ln mknod netstat pwd sh tar uname zcat
cat cp dmesg fgrep gzip login more pidof rm sleep touch usleep
chgrp date echo getopt hostname ls mount ping rmdir stty true vi
I configured XP with the Mac's IP - same result. The Mac kept flashing up a complaint dialog about the IP overlap.
My OSX version is 10.4.6.
About bridged adapter - it lists a "Default" and an "en2". There is no "en3" choice. I am set to "en2"
Users on another forum in a similar situation had success setting MTU 1400 instead of 1500 using DrTCP. When I try this, ipconfig says my MTU is 1500, so unless there is another way to set MTU, I can't try this experiment.
Edit: unrelated subject - looking through the system logs, it seems that Parallels does a lot of logging to the windowserver.log. It says: [79] "Parallels Desktop" (0x8a5f) set hot key operating mode to normal. It seems to do this several times per minute.
