Thanks for your response.
I should have said I'm running CentOS-7.1 on my home server.
Also the actual "arp -a" entry on the server is
(169.254.192.123) at 30:10:b3:2e:cb:ff
I see that 30:10:b3 is assigned to Lite-On (or Liteon)
which is a Taiwan company, who sell network cards among other things.
And I find when I google to "liteon wifi network"
that there are many queries (and complaints) about mysterious links
involving liteon devices.
So I guess the strange IP address probably comes from some Lite-On device
somewhere in my house - maybe on the server itself, an HP MicroServer.
There are so many possible electronic culprits today.
