I wonder if your networking equipment is sending out the packets with a broadcast of 255.255.255.255 (ie every node on the internet). Use ethereal to do a capture to see if your computer is actually seeing those packets. You may need to use a more specific mask (192.168.0.255) or change your switch/router's settings.
