	It simply means that someone is already using 10.1.2.100 and the
hardware address on their ethernet card is 00:20:18:72:3f:e3 
	It is also the same brand ethernet card as your ed1. You should 
ask your admin about who is using 10.1.2.100 or try another, not assigned
to anyone ip address. (ask your admin for it too).
