I don't think so. The cache poisoning you refer to is a malicious act to get one or more machines to route to the wrong ethernet address. The network in question, described by the OP in post #5, is a very simple network under the OP's control. And remember that a few post back the OP described the problem persisting even with the network switch disconected. And keep in mind that ARP caches time out fairly quickly. (Use tcpdump on a normally operating network and notice how often an arp request is sent.)
all are giving again description of problem and their own guesses. nobody is giving correct solution in this forum. Main thing is when the problem raises, we will be in the tension to rectify the problem within short duration. all are giving problems and we dont have time to read all the problems and their guessings. first, give the solution at the top after that give the discussions pl. Totally this forum seems to be nonsense when i am in trouble, you are giving long descriptions and guessings. please, my request is first at the top give the correct solutions.
1st. It is considered bad form(rude) to dig up a thread that is over two years old just to comment on it.
2nd. What you are asking for is basically impossible. The way problems are solved is by the process of elimination. I suggested a bad router brand. When the OP replied that he was running a very common and known router, that eliminated that as a possibility. Without all the details(which the OP provided when asked) it is extremely difficult to diagnose a problem.
3rd. We are all just users here. We do not get paid to do this. We do this to contribute back into the linux community. Personally I also do it in the hopes that when(not if) I run into things that I cannot solve myself, someone will step up and give me a hand.
4th. If you do not have the time to read possible solutions, you do not understand how community forums work.

You are not the original poster. How do you presume to declare the issue is resolved?
Very strange behavior on this thread. This thread was dead and buried for two and a half years. Then somebody digs it up to presume to lecture me and others about our attempts to help the OP. (BTW, I stand by what I posted 2.5 years ago. Whether or not it resolved the problem.) And now this! <shakes head in amazement>
