Happy New Year!
Here is today’s question:
I ran arp -a on a Windows machine and received this:
192.168.0.1 00-17-c5-4a-02-e6 dynamic
192.168.0.47 00-18-8b-4d-12-e1 dynamic
192.168.0.49 00-26-b9-38-2b-b0 dynamic
192.168.0.52 00-01-74-d1-6b-07 dynamic
192.168.0.53 00-06-72-c9-d7-e1 dynamic
192.168.0.111 00-AA-71-f8-b6-87 dynamic
192.168.0.161 00-21-91-57-1f-41 dynamic
192.168.0.200 00-03-ff-29-9a-19 dynamic
192.168.0.201 00-03-fa-28-97-08 dynamic
Five minutes later, I ran the command and received this:
192.168.0.1 00-18-8b-4d-12-e1 dynamic
192.168.0.47 00-18-8b-4d-12-e1 dynamic
192.168.0.49 00-26-b9-38-2b-b0 dynamic
192.168.0.52 00-01-74-d1-6b-07 dynamic
192.168.0.53 00-06-72-c9-d7-e1 dynamic
192.168.0.111 00-AA-71-f8-b6-87 dynamic
192.168.0.161 00-21-91-57-1f-41 dynamic
192.168.0.200 00-03-ff-29-9a-19 dynamic
192.168.0.201 00-03-fa-28-97-08 dynamic
Assuming I’m paranoid and this isn’t normal, what will I most likely deduce is happening??
Assumptions:
- My default gateway is 192.168.0.1.
- No hardware changes were made between the first and second requests.
As always, tell a nerd working behind the counter the correct answer and receive a free 450mL beverage.

The answer to the previous question is in the comments for that question. Feel free to discuss.
We’re on a hiatus this week, due to the free beverages being given away. If you’re in the dark on that, please visit our Hanes Mall Blvd. location between 6am and 10am for a free medium drink of your choice (smoothies and bottled drinks excepted) EVERY DAY until Sunday.
For our downtown customers, you can get a free drink at the 4th street location next Tuesday, 12/22 just by asking for one.
Enjoy the free drinks and thanks for your business!

I’m hosting my personal website on a web server directly connected to the internet with the IP address 172.29.13.5. Why can’t anyone on the internet get to it?
