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


I mean network cable! The computer is still running all
time long. No reboot or powerfails!


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.
 
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:
