I get these errors generated on a machine which has the correct netmask, no static routes, no incorrect routes of any kind. During a migration there are multiple IP networks on the same physical switched network, if I connect to one of the machines in the other network on the same wire, I get that error. I'd like to just turn it off, since it's annoying.
