CORRECTION.

The MAC address of the router is actually +1 from the MAC address that arp
is reporting.

What MAC address is arp reporting anyway?


C:\Documents and Settings\brent>arp -a

Interface: 192.168.1.1 --- 0x2
Internet Address Physical Address Type
192.168.1.1 00-16-B6-32-43-26 dynamic

I'm not sure WHAT MAC address that ARP is reporting as my router tells me
it's MAC address is one higher (i.e., 00-16-B6-32-43-27).

Any ideas on what this is telling me?
