This is an arp request from windows box on a 10/24 network:

ARP: ar_hrd:1 ar_pro:2048 ar_hln:6 ar_pln:4  REQUEST
    00:aa:fe:f5:f1:f3 ( 234.255.127.254 ) -> 
                ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff (234.255.127.253 )

ETHER: 00:aa:00:14:1c:18 -> ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

notice the sha doesn't even equal the true src mac, the tha isn't 00's, and
what's with the 234* ?? windows really choked on something.
