It is showing you have a network problem.
I think ARP is used to assign IP addresses. I found the info below on the internet.
Check any network cables are plugged in correctly.
I do not have an Azbox and know very little about Linux but I hope this helps.

ARP (short for “Address Resolution Protocol”) is a network protocol used to map an IP network address to a corresponding hardware MAC address. When host X wants to communicate host Y, X first broadcasts an ARP request on its local network, to obtain Y’s MAC address. Once X receives ARP reply containing Y’s MAC address, X uses the information to construct Ethernet frames destined for Y.

The IP/MAC address mapping information so obtained is cached in local ARP table, so that ARP query process can be omitted subsequently.
