These are two different issues.
The "[address] has moved to [different] ..." message is simply caused by DHCP giving different addys
to different computer as they turn on and off on the cable network.  It's not really anything to be
concerned with.

I'm not sure what Steve's problem is, but it sounds like a something's wrong.  If I were you, I'd do
a little research to find out what computer has 00:05:32:0e:64:12 and see what software is running
on it.  That may get you pointed toward the cause/solution of the problem.
