I just upgrade my freebsd 3.5 to freebsd 4.1-release on my machine and
keep on getting this error message.

I don't see this error message in my 3.5 version. It only happena
after I upgraded. It is on a cable connection but I am
not sure if there is anything to do with it.


Question:
#1. Where are these ARP coming from?
#2. Is there anything wrong with my setup?
#3. How do I disable it if there is no danger to security?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
