Hi,

this problem occuered after Broadcast drivers update and during high load,
when others users are connected.
If you wish, I can do some tcpdumps for arp only.

Those settings proposed - they will stop all related alerts, not only for
given hosts, no ? Unfortunatelly that's the reason why I'm using arpalert...

Thank you.

Bretislav
