	Not necessary. It may be misconfigured computer (configured
statically 
to use an address assigned to another computer). Or there
may be an 
unauthorized DHCP server - for example misconfigured Windows
with two or 
more NICs may run one causing the IP conflicts. Yes, it may
be 
intentional attack also.

	How to resolve ? You need to found the source of problem
and disconnect 
it. If it is misconfiguration, you may identify the computer
via MAC. If 
it is attack and your LAN is not so large, you may try to
disconnect 
parts of them - when problem disappear you know the segment
of the 
computer you are searching for.

	If your LAN isn't small you need to consult your switches
from where 
the attacker MAC come. You can't build reliable large LAN
with dumb 
switches, so I'm sure you have smart switches on your LAN.

	But it seems to me your question has nothing to do with
FreeBSD with 
the exception that there is one computer with FreeBSD
connected to 
problematic LAN.
