Default clearing the ARP cache


Recently, when I have to repair my net work connection (which I have to do
periodically), it renews the IP address and all but then says that Windows
could not finish repairing the problem because it the following action cannot
be completed: Clearing the ARP cache. Everything seems to work fine so is
this something I need to be concerned about and how do I correct it and clear
the ARP cache.

Thanks for that tip and I'll do that but how important is clearing the ARP
cache and why is it suddenly not being cleared when I do a repair?
