I just made a fresh install of RC2 in the university, and this problem does not
occur. The mask is 255.255.255.0 here.
Note that in console, stopping lisa with "service lisa stop" works once, not
twice like on the machine I had problems. Hope this helps.

description: 
I have the LAN at 10.0.0.0/8. tcpdump shows that the lisa tries to do an ARP
request for probably all addresses in the network and literally bombards the net
with packets. I don't know what this might cause on a large network. To add to
this it continues these probes even after the LAN interface goes down.

This can also result in a costly problem. The following happened to me:
- I configured my notebook for GPRS over bluetooth
- I removed the LAN card from my notebook so it does not interfere with the
experiments
- I brought a PPP connection up
- The defaultroute was set to ppp0
- The lisa continued to send packets
- They all travelled to the phone, generating paid traffic :-(

The distribution is Mandrake 9.2 Beta 2

Proposed resolution: don't enable the server by default and document this
problem somewhere
