ARP traffic is a normal part of an Ethernet network. Even if you could switch it off, you wouldn't want to: no traffic is able to connect to your machine without it. Just ignore it. Your machine will not respond to any ARP request unless it's a request for your IP address. It's not an attack, but simply a broadcast message, sent to all machines on the subnet. IMHO, your cable company has a badly designed network. I have a cable modem as well, and it filters out all of the traffic which is not sent to my IP address. -- G. ``Iggy'' Geens - ICQ: #64109250 Home: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Work: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWW: http://users.pandora.be/guy.geens/ ``I was thinking about how everyone was dying and maybe it's time to live.'' - Eels
