Allright, I use an ADSL router, which is also used as a DHCP server. It gives to
my machine the 10.0.0.1 IP address.

# /sbin/route -n

Table de routage IP du noyau
Destination     Passerelle      Genmask         Indic Metric Ref    Use Iface
10.0.0.0        0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo

I get this result whenever lisa is running or not. I don't think this is related
with PPP then.

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
