Displays current ARP entries by interrogating the current protocol data.
Displays current ARP entries in verbose mode. All invalid entries and
entries on the loop-back interface will be shown.
Deletes the host specified by inet_addr. inet_addr may be wildcarded
with * to delete all hosts.
Adds the host and associates the Internet address inet_addr with the
Physical address eth_addr. The Physical address is given as 6
hexadecimal bytes separated by hyphens. The entry is permanent.

msconfig – Microsoft Configuration Tool
System Configuration is a tool that can help identify problems
that might prevent Windows from starting correctly.
You can start Windows with common services and startup
programs turned off and then turn them back on, one at a time.
If a problem doesn't occur when a service is turned off, but does
occur when that service is turned on, then the service could be
the cause of the problem.
System Configuration is intended to find and isolate problems,
but it's not meant as a startup management program.
