where ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address of the print server and ipaddress is
the IP address of the print server. The temp parameter should be used with UNIX
systems, but is not supported by Microsoft operating systems. For example, a
typical UNIX entry would be:
arp -s 192.189.207.2 00:40:17:00:c3:e4 temp
ping 192.189.207.2
while a typical Microsoft entry would be:
arp -s 192.189.207.2 00-40-17-00-c3-e4
ping 192.189.207.2
If everything is OK, you will get a message back on the screen indicating that the
print server is alive. If you do not get such a message, first check the note bellow,
and then try entering the commands again.
NOTE: This procedure will not work through a router (gateway) and only works if
the print server IP address has never been configured before. If you have
previously configured an IP address, then use TELNET to change the IP
address.
This procedure will not work with Windows 95 unless there are already
entries in the Windows 95 arp table. If there are no entries, you can add
one by pinging a known device on the network (you cannot ping yourself).

The print server IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (rarp) facility
on your host computer. This is done by editing the
/ e t c / e t h e r s file (if this file
does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the following:
0 0 : 4 0 : 1 7 : 0 0 : 0 1 : 0 7 X C D _ 0 0 0 1 0 7
where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the print server and the second
entry is the name of the print server (the name must be the same as the one you
put in the /etc/hosts file).
If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the
command can be
rarpd, rarpd -a, i n . r a r p d - a or something else; type m a n
r a r p d or refer to your system documentation for additional information). To verify
that the rarp daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the
following command:
