In the hope that you are not the resident networking expert at Sonoma
State University, I would advise that you seek out that guru or one of
his assistants.

(1) You do not state where you see this error message, nor which
    software is likely to have produced it.
(2) Given that your own words are misspelled, I suspect that you have
    not accurately transcribed the error message, either. (While I'm
    sure there are still surviving members of the Handel family, I would
    not expect them to be handling ARP.) :-)
(3) Ethernet type (hex) 0806 is ARP. (What's an ethernet type ? What's
    ARP ? Go read a textbook; take a networking class or something.)
(4) The most likely origin of this message is an error in a program, or
    a misconfigured program. It sounds sort of like somebody forgot to
    make provisions for responding to ARP queries.
