Default help - static arp entries disappear on reboot

I tried to assign a static arp entry for my router using the arp -s
command at the command prompt. According to the help blurb (arp /?) "the
entry is permanent". Yet upon reboot it changes back to a dynamic entry
for the router, and no entry for the other (Macintosh) computer on the
network (which doesn't need a static entry but I put in for testing
purposes).

How can I correct this so there it persists after a reboot? I tried
adding the line to autoexec.bat but it told me that arp can't be run in
MS-DOS mode. It seems like a major flaw for a static entry to diappear
on a client OS like windows 98 after a reboot, as clinets are routinely
shut down at the end of the day, so I suspect I'm doing something wrong
or some configuration is locked.

Try adding the arp command to an appropriate .bat file and place a
link to it in your C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp folder.

Otherwise try adding arp to your registry at ...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

Or try adding it to winstart.bat in your %windir% (this probably won't
work).
