Well, a cable modem is not a point-to-point device. You're on an Ethernet with all your neighbors. So seeing funny ARPs is not a surprise. Some flavors of DSL work like that too - I see lots of ARPs for other folks, especially when CodeRed or other amusement is attempting to connect to nonexistent hosts.
