Netview uses the IpNetToMedia table during discovery, not the arp table. YOu
may point your MIB browser to an appropiate device and watch the results.

I think you're going to find that, like
all other products that do network
discovery, NetView's discovery process
is a trade secret.  Translation:  even
the developers don't understand it.

I think you can bet ARP is involved though.
