Why does all static entries in arp table disappear when I
plug off the network cable?

I added all network members by using "arp -s", and I have
to do so.

What can I do to make the entries in arp table realy static?

I use WindowsXP and Windows 2000.

Static entries are only stored in RAM. You'll need to configure a startup
script to put them back.

When you unplug the cable the stack unloads so that's probably why the
entries disappear. You can change this behavior by disabling media sense.
See this article for instructions:
