!!!ISSUE RESOLVED!!! What I did was to un-check "Automatic ARP Configuration" and keep the other settings "NAT on Client Side" ckecked at both Automatic NAT and Manual NAT Configuration, and then, I moved the file I created earlier (local.arp) to the CONF directory instead of the STATE directory. After that, I re-installed the policy and re-booted both the Management Server AND the Enforcement Modules. I also created the appropriate Static Routes.
Everything is working as expected now, that is, I've got Automatic NAT Rules (don't you just love them?), Manual NAT Rules as I see fit, AND, Manual Proxy ARP!!! I found out that you need to put local.arp in the CONF directory instead of the STATE directory in CP NG, from AERASEC.de... No matter how I serched in SecureKnowledge, I found NOTHING WHAT-SO-EVER!!! Big thanks to everyone.

What I want to do is: 01. Configure automatic NAT rules and some manual NAT rules as I see fit (that can be done) 02. Configure MANUAL ARP by using local.arp as I used to do in CP2000 v4.1 I've created local.arp inside the STATE directory of the firewall, but IT IS NOT working and I'm going insane. I had NO problems at all when I was using CP2000 v4.1. I believe that the format of the file is correct (using Notepad, I created the file, then I edited it with WordPad and it's format is IP-Address <space> MAC_Address_of_Firewall_Interface). I also unchecked in Policy, Global Properties "Automatic ARP Configuration", I bounced the Management Server AND the Firewall Module (different Server), I re-installed the policy, BUT, local.arp DOESN'T seem to be working... Please, I'm going insane here. Has anyone seen this before? Can someone tell me what the complete and correct procedure is to configure automatic NAT and Manual NAT (as I see fit) AND Manual ARP configuration? Please, I need your help.

But you have to configure this with manually nat rules as you say and also manual proxy arp. I'm not very windows friendly... but I guess that if you run "arp" without options you get some examples to configure a static arp entry.
