Multitudes of arp broadcasts

[Todd Vander Does]

Our Windows95 appear to be looking for servers or going through the
election process all the time.  They broadcast arp whois queries
for each of the 8160 possible IP addresses in our subnet range.
For the 100 or so that respond, they then try to make a connection
and fail on our Unix, X terminal, and VMS boxes.  Then they start
again.

Does anyone know how to turn off the browsing or specify a permanent
set of servers in Windows95?
