The TCP/IP stack for Windows NT 3.5 does not allow the change of the
ArpCacheLife for an entry in the address resolution protocol (ARP) cache.

In Windows NT 3.1, the ARP cache had an entry in the Registry called
ArpCacheLife. You could manually set how long an entry stayed in the cache
by changing this Registry key. The new TCP/IP stack in Windows 3.5 does not
support this change in the Registry.
