Hi Christoph,
 
    You can use a program like
the culprit program which is doing excessive ARP protocol.
 
After you identify the the offending program, uninstall it.
 
To prevent future problems, see this page -- http://www.firewallguide.com/
It's a good idea to use a firewall like
a) ZoneAlarm(www.zonelabs.com)

Subject: [Ethereal-users] ARP-Protokoll

Dear Sirs and Mesdames,
 
I hope you could help me. Yesterday I installed etheral to oberseve my Cable-Modem-Internet connection. Why? Since a cuple of weeks I can see flashing lights on my modem - indicating network traffic - but no program ist open nor the IE is running. My provider shows me 1 GB of upload. Hmm. Etheral showed me, that when all known web-applications on my PC are closed, 100 % of entwork traffic come from using the ARP-Protokol, broadcasting somthing like "who is" or "hihi..."? How can I identify the source of the traffic and how can I stop it? 
It would be great to hear from you.
 
Many thanks
Christoph
