Receiving false threats from Android phone

[ultrarunner2024 0]

Hey guys;

I have ESET Internet Security installed on my Windows 11 Pro box.

I have a Google Pixel 6 running Android 14.
The phone is set to use a static IP address. I sometimes run an FTP server on the phone so I can transfer files to and from my Windows PC using Filezilla.

I am receiving some disturbing messages from ESET on the Windows PC, all coming from the Android phone.
The most common messages are:

Time;Event;Action;Source;Target;Protocol;Rule/worm name;Application path;Application;Hash;User;Signer;Package name;Service
2024-08-25 6:30:06 PM;Duplicate IP addresses on network;Blocked;192.168.1.250 [6e:1f:cf:16:92:9e];192.168.1.250 [06:bd:de:a9:0c:fa];ARP;;;;;;;;

Time;Event;Action;Source;Target;Protocol;Rule/worm name;Application path;Application;Hash;User;Signer;Package name;Service
2024-08-28 3:45:27 PM;ARP Cache Poisoning attack;Blocked;192.168.1.250 [06:bd:de:a9:0c:fa];192.168.1.250 [6e:1f:cf:16:92:9e];ARP;;;;;;;;

 

I don't know how I could have a duplicate IP address, as the phone is configured to use static and I have set up my router to exclude a block of addresses in the DHCP config (used for static IP).

I had ESET on my Android phone, but I let the sub expire. Maybe I should renew it now.

Thanks for your help

Exclude IP address 192.168.1.250 from detection per shown here: https://support.eset.com/en/kb2933-arp-icmp-or-dns-cache-poisoning-attack-in-eset-home-products-for-windows which should resolve the issue.
