The DeleteProxyArpEntry function deletes the PARP entry on the local computer specified by the dwAddress and dwIfIndex parameters.
Syntax
IPHLPAPI_DLL_LINKAGE DWORD DeleteProxyArpEntry(
[in] DWORD dwAddress,
[in] DWORD dwMask,
[in] DWORD dwIfIndex
);
Parameters
[in] dwAddress
The IPv4 address for which this computer is acting as a proxy.
[in] dwMask
The subnet mask for the IPv4 address specified in the dwAddress parameter.
[in] dwIfIndex
The index of the interface on which this computer is supporting proxy ARP for the IP address specified by the dwAddress parameter.
Return value
The function returns NO_ERROR (zero) if the function is successful.
If the function fails, the return value is one of the following error codes.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
Access is denied. This error is returned on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 under several conditions that include the following: the user lacks the required administrative privileges on the local computer or the application is not running in an enhanced shell as the built-in Administrator (RunAs administrator). |
|
An input parameter is invalid, no action was taken. |
|
The IPv4 transport is not configured on the local computer. |
|
Use FormatMessage to obtain the message string for the returned error. |
Remarks
To retrieve the ARP table, call the GetIpNetTable function.
On Windows Vista and later, the DeleteProxyArpEntry function can only be called by a user logged on as a member of the Administrators group. If DeleteProxyArpEntry is called by a user that is not a member of the Administrators group, the function call will fail and ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED is returned. This function can also fail because of user account control (UAC) on Windows Vista and later. If an application that contains this function is executed by a user logged on as a member of the Administrators group other than the built-in Administrator, this call will fail unless the application has been marked in the manifest file with a requestedExecutionLevel set to requireAdministrator. If the application on Windows Vista and later lacks this manifest file, a user logged on as a member of the Administrators group other than the built-in Administrator must then be executing the application in an enhanced shell as the built-in Administrator (RunAs administrator) for this function to succeed.
