According to http://linuxgazette.net/issue65/tag/12.html
---------------------------------------------------
It means that your arp cache is overflowing because
your machine can't tell who is on its own subnet.
Which usually means your localhost setup is broken
---------------------------------------------------

When you do "ifconfig" is there a listing for lo ?

-------------------------------------------------
or, far less commonly, that your netmask for your
own external address is wrong.
-------------------------------------------------

When you do "ifconfig" is the eth0 Mask 255.255.255.0 ?

Cheers,

(because lots of applications use networking internal to your machine - which
is always on its own subnet, so those packets should never even escape the
computer) or, far less commonly, that your netmask for your own external
address is wrong.
