You have a machine on your network with IP address 10.67.178.1
trying to talk to other machines with IP addresses in the range
10.67.178.x, which appear not to exist.

You also have a machine with the IP address 66.188.32.1 and
another with the IP address 24.247.174.1.

10.67.178.1 is most likely misconfigured.  The other two
resolve, so maybe they're OK, but they didn't get ARP replies,
according to your packet capture.

Is your machine connected to the 'net via DSL or cable or
something?
