COM21 is killing me with ARP

[Sebastiaan <S.Breedveld@ITS.TUDelft.NL>]

Hello,

a couple of days ago I installed a COM21 cable modem. Although I can
internet without problems, the modem itself is sending me endless ARP
requests, while my computer does not answer them. I analysed the data with
iptraf, and it looks like this:
ARP request for 212.127.130.4 (46 bytes) from 0050da4b4882 to ffffffffffff on eth0                   x
ARP request for 212.127.152.4 (46 bytes) from 0000c50d31ce to  ffffffffffff on eth0
ARP request for 212.127.159.4 (46 bytes) from 0020afbd705f to ffffffffffff on eth0

This makes me nervous. 212.127.*.* is my ISP cable modem network. What is
this, can I stop it?


Thanks in advance,
Sebastiaan

  NT is the OS of the future. The main engine is the 16-bit Subsystem
  (also called MS-DOS Subsystem). Above that, there is the windoze 95/98
  16-bit Subsystem. Anyone can see that 16+16=32, so windoze NT is a 
  *real* 32-bit system.
