This is leaking in from your Cable/DSL connection. Someone else on your
side of the ISP's router is using the same local network addressing, but
they don't have their gateway configured properly (most likely a Windows
box).
The messages won't affect your network, but if you don't want to see
them, change your network addresses to something a little less common,
such as "192.168.53.x"...
