Use the route command to add the LAN card's IPaddress to the ARP table.route add card old IP> IP>For example,route add 11.22.33.44 11.22.33.51Some operating systems require a 0 at the end of theroute add command. Check with your systemadministrator.3. Use the ping command to get the target LAN cardinformation. Be sure to turn off any otherSilentwriters with the same IP address first.ping card old IP>For example,ping 11.22.33.444. Use the arp command to get the LAN card's MACaddress.arp -aThe LAN card's MAC address will be displayed.Interface: IP>Internet Address Physical Address Type card old IP> card MAC>dynamicFor example,Interface: 11.22.33.51Internet Physical Address Type11.22.33.44 00-a0-92-01-56-26 dynamic
