In your pervious note you only had one client address, but I believe you in your statement about multiple addresses. If the ARP requests match what is in the ARP table then perhaps: We are seeing keep-alives. Do you see any traffic to the addresses from outside after an ARP response? This COULD be Bell Canada (I did a look up on your address range at dnsstuff.com) checking out what your addresses are being used for. If the addresses being ARPed are NOT in the ARP cache (and not addresses of clients systems) then perhaps: Your router is being hit with attacks across your allocation range, and it is doing nothing more than trying to forward those attack packets inward. So you want some information from your router. Is this just something your router is doing on its own, or is this due to an external event. > -----Original Message----- > From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf > Of Robert Moskowitz > Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 8:19 AM > To: CentOS mailing list > Subject: Re: [CentOS] ARP Problem ??? > > Bob Chiodini wrote: > >> Robert Moskowitz wrote: >> >>> Craig Van Ham wrote: >>> >>>> Does any one know if this is normal operating of ARP.
