Mine is mainly duplicate ip address on network and yes there is one alert for ARP Cache Poisoning attack as per snapshot below :

How can I fix the duplicate ip addresses ?

Are you positive that all machines  / devices are configured to obtain the IP address automatically from the DHCP server? Couldn't it be that some devices have a static IP address assigned?

Please check the DHCP address range on the my router it is from 200-250.

And all the duplicate ip addresses in my first post were less than 200

You can enable advanced network protection logging under Tools -> Diagnostics, reproduce the detection of duplicate IP addresses, stop logging, collect logs with ESET Log Collector and upload the generated archive here.

I tried Advanced Setup --> Tools --> Diagnostic --> Advanced Logging --> Then failed to find reproduce the detection of duplicate IP addresses, stop logging ?

I am digging in the right direction ?

Open a command prompt window, type "ipconfig /all" less the quote marks, and press the enter key.

Post what is shown for IPv4 address and Subnet Mask.

Per your ipconfig screen shot, this is what I expected.

Eset establishes its DHCP range based on what Win DHCP initialization establishes. In this case, the DHCP range is 192.10.10.1/24. However, your router appears to have the capability to restrict the actual DHCP range used to a subset of addresses within the above Win allocated DHCP range; something I have never seen before. The problem is that Eset is unaware of this subset restriction.

Assuming you are using the Eset Home/Office firewall network adapter protection type, the only possible solution to this I can think of is to set the Trusted Zone to correspond to the actual DHCP address range you are using. That is,192.10.10.200-192.10.10.250.

BTW- Edit out your MAC address on the posted screen shot.

Where can I see that DHCP option within ESET ?

You can't. It's implied and used to set up IP addresses in the Trusted Zone when the Home/Office protection option is selected for the network adapter.

Yes.
