I used this tutorial to make my Raspberry Pi 4B a static IP address. However, every time I run

arp -a

on my Windows machine, I see the Pi's IP address as dynamic. I'm not sure if it's better to change it using the command line and editing the dhcpcd.conf file but I tried that as well and got nothing. Am I doing something wrong?

Does this answer your question? How do I set up networking/WiFi/static IP address on Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS? – Milliways Oct 20 '22 at 03:18
by far the least troublesome and least susceptible to errors that can lock you out of a headless pi ... reserve an IP in the DHCP server (commonly your main router) which I believe is mentioned in the link above – Jaromanda X Oct 20 '22 at 05:41
Please explain *why* you are assigning a static IP instead of using a dynamic address? In other words, what is it that you cannot do with a dynamic address that you can do with a static address? – Seamus Oct 20 '22 at 21:16
means you have a static IP on your raspberry and it is shown as dynamically learned on your windows PC? That's normal. Feel free to read more about the arp protocol. – dummyuser Oct 21 '22 at 10:45
