arplookup host not on local network

hi all

i rebooted my dual boot (with winxp), dhcp, 4.8-REL_ENG machine today,
and noticed for the first time some strange behavior.

i can boot successfully, but i notice recurring messages in
/var/log/messages, which read

Jul  5 21:04:23 hostname-15m1kxku /kernel: arplookup xx.xx.xx.xx failed:
host is
not on local network

note: xx.xx.xx.xx looks like an ip on the same subnet as my box, ie.,
the first two octets are similar.

i can boot into freebsd, looks like i'm still receiving a network
connection, however - certain things now don't work - namely, kde takes
forever to start up (hangs during 'initializing network services'), kde
terminates unexpectedly, and i can no longer start konqueror from within
kde.  this was a stab in the dark, but i tried deleting the contents of
/tmp, and rebooting. it didn't help.

if anyone has experienced this type of behavior before, i'd appreciate
hearing from you...

thanks
redmond

One possibility is that your netmask is incorrect.  What does ifconfig
say for whichever interface is configured on that network?
