ARP Response

How can i disable arp responses on both unix and windows machines like you do to disable icmp? I can't find anything helpful on the internet. I am running local servers and don't want any attempt of arp pings either.. They are using static ips so there won't be any chance for ip conflict.
 
In windows it will be a system registry setting under the Local_Machine...I don't know the specifics but that is where it will be. Google it and you will find it, but I know that it will be a registry key under HK_Local_machine.

As for Unix, well that could be a different answer depending on what Unix distro you are running. This syntax may be different, but for me (and I am running OS X) I use this in the command line:

Code:
ifocnfig en0 -arp

That turns off arp on ethernet zero.
