It happens once in a while when there's a virus or the local network has too many hosts. (fake ARP requests fill out the ARP table with incomplete entries). Try "/sbin/arp -an | wc -l" and if you get more than 200 lines (or so, i don't know what the exact turning point is) you might have to play with the Kernel's garbage collection parameters for the disposal of ARP addresses.
