some device on your network has the MAC address 00:0f:fe:8f:8f:23 which 
Wireshark is calling PartedMagic for unknown reasons. That MAC prefix 
apparently belongs to an obscure Chinese computer maker, G-Pro Computers.
http://macaddress.webwat.ch/vendor/G-PRO_COMPUTER
the weblink given for G-Pro is wrong.

some random google searching suggests that they may be an OEM for 
Lite-On, do you have any network devices from Lite-On (I'm only familiar 
with Lite-On as a CD/DVD burner/reader brand).

oh.   the ARP packet suggests that MAC address is 192.168.1.144
