I received the following error message in my syslog after trying to
connect from a Mac client. Does anyone know what caused it or if it
indicates a problem?

Feb 10 22:42:59 frank kernel: ARP: arp called for own IP address

The server is running Linux kernel 2.0.33 and Netatalk 1.4b2+asun2.0a18.
The client is MacOS 8.0, OT 1.2.1, AS Client 3.7.2.

The problem seemed to go away after I restarted the client machine. No,
the client does not have the same IP address as the server, but it is on
the same subnet.
