             Hi AmChamEgypt
                 ARP Poisoning is not preventable by a clientside tool. You need a switch that supports security features.

the satiation is that someone in my network uses a program called "netcut" that can poisoning my ARP table with a fake MAC address to the gateway so it cut me off accessing the internet. i tried to use static ARP entry to my gateway. but it does not work. the last thing i tried an application called Xarp that monitor the ARP table updates and prevent some illegal updates. it made some improvement but it does not totally solve the problem. i do not know, is it unsolvable problem?!!!  can you experts send any ideas?
What are the names and models of your switch's
it is d-link switched. it is not intelligent. i need a client side solution. i need a tool that monitor the ARP protocol and drop any illegal packets. is there any tool that can do that??

Update: XARP is a free Windows tool that is similar to arpwatch. It works by watching your local ARP cache for changes. Again, this won't stop the attack, it'll just let you know about it. If you want to try it, be aware that you'll need to install MFC70.dll to support it on XP.
