    Hey,


    I was testing some packet sniffing stuff on my home network today had about 5 computers set up to see what i could sniff.

    Its a switched network so i used ARP poisioning to redirect the packets to my pc etc...

    Anyway now one of the pcs that i was testing on is flooding the network with arp requests for addresses that do and do not exist.

    On this pc i did not install any software. Everything was done from my computer.

    Anyway the ARP table is full of invalid arp addresses.

    This is not having any adverse affect on the network but i was just wondering why its happening to this pc. its not happening to any of the others.
