Looks like I figured out what the problem was -- I had made a swap of the
ifconfig lines so that the IP numbers changed, but I had failed to
reset/clear out my switch, and the arp info was broadcasting as .225
instead of my changes...  

I cleared out all the arp caches and rebooted, and the message went away.
I'm having another problem now but at least it's not complaining anymore :)

Thanks!
 Eric
