I'm pretty confused by all this! There should'nt be any other machines sending arp requests (there's no other machines on this ethernet segment -- it just goes to the router) -- this problem only started with my system rebuilt. Is there something weird in the new (2.1.5 stable) named binary? It was suggested to me that I: >... find the broken machine that's broadcasting ARP requests for the >loopback address, and turn it off. I'm not clear on how to track that down -- again, this is the only machine on this ehternet segment. Thanks for any help you can offer!
