Hi,

Just trying to learn how ARP caching works, my network looks as follows:

Now after a clean reboot on the wireless laptop, i vist google, i would assume this would cause 192.168.1.45 to be added to the arp cache with is MAC address.

But only 192.168.1.1 is added,

Code:
Interface: 192.168.1.5 --- 0x2
  Internet Address      Physical Address      Type
  192.168.1.1           00-30-54-75-ef-47     dynamic

Why is this? I mean I could understand if both routers were added, but the laptop has to connect to the wireless router in order to get the ip of the wired router doesn't it? The wired router is the default gateway on the laptops NIC, but theres still communication via the wireless router which should require its MAC address in the arp table?

Thanks
Jack
