hi
I can see on wireshark that I am getting on my LAN arp requests all the time:
338 158.416690 AsustekC_05:3d:97 Broadcast ARP 42 Who has 192.168.1.26? Tell 192.168.1.20
It is releated to my HP printer. My computer (...1.20) running win7 sends this arp packet trying to discover MAC address of my printer. My computer stops sending this ARP requests while printer is ON. But for most of the time it is off and the ARP flood keeps coming. ...1.26 is the printer's IP address.
How to stop this flood in some decent way? Maybe some settings in a printer's driver. Any how is it normal to flood with so many arp request on the LAN?
