DNS - Absolutely Not. He is using IP addresses and not DNS
references.
he has a box with a 3com ethernet interface in it whose last
three
octets of the MAC address of the ethernet controller are
99:f8:35.

My PS2 is not handy, but there is usually a sticker on these
boxes
that shows the MAC (ethernet) address of the interface.
Check your PS2
and see if you can match up the MAC address. The LAST ARP
request from 192.168.0.1
indicates that your PS2 is this MAC address.

with The apparent source of the ARP request for  192.168.0.1
being your PS2
The request for 193.168.0.1 can only have originated from
the PS2.

Therefore you either have
	1. A misconfigured Gateway Entry in your PS2 IP setup where
you made a typo
	and put 193 instead of 192. Most Likely scenario. Recheck
this entry and
	correct or reenter. power cycle the PS2.
	It might only read EEPROM values on boot.

	2. A stuck BIT in the PS2  hardware that is pushing out 193
instead of 192.
	With nothing else appearing to be corrupted here, the stuck
bit would have to
	be only in the stored location of the 192 value and hence
it should also be displayed
	as 193 when you look at the gateway entry on the PS2. The
only other logical place
	would be if the 3COM driver/hardware also copies the eeprom
value to local ENET
	controller memory and that is where the bit is stuck on.
You would have to replace
	the Enet controller in the PS2 to fix this issue if it is
located there.

IF the above ARPS were working then you would see
a reply of 192.168.0.1 is at  "INSERT The firewalls MAC
ADDRESS HERE"

as is shown by the bwlow ARP on the PS2 at 192.168.0.4
