Hi, I have been having headache with this strange arp table in windows vista. My computer connects to the internet through wireless router. The address for the router is 192.168.0.1. When I type arp -a in command window, it shows the following arp table:

Interface: 192.168.0.2
Internet address physical address type
192.168.0.1 00-09-5b-b1-a0-0e dynamic
192.168.0.1 ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff static
224.0.0.22 01-00-5e-00-00-16 static
224.0.0.252 01-00-5e-00-00-fc static
239.255.255.250 01-00-5e-7f-ff-fa static
255.255.255.255 ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff static

I can understand there should be an entry for my router address which is 192.168.0.1. But what I don't understand is why I have other entries. Is my computer under any sort of attack? I would appreciate if someone can give me an answer. Thanks in advance.

When I had windows xp, there was only one arp entry (192.168.0.1). With windows vista, there are always more than one entries even if I use arp -d to clear the arp table. I am a bit nervous about this because my ebay password was somehow leaked a few months ago, and I still have no idea how this happened.

Just did a quick search on google, those address seem to be used for multicasting or broadcasting.

At least someone has the similar arp table, I think it might be just another vista's exclusive "feature" :p
