The guys at Hak5.org have shown in their video podcast how to use XArp to detect ARP attacks. Check if out here!
XArp - Advanced ARP Spoofing Detection
XArp is a security application that uses advanced techniques to detect
ARP based attacks. ARP attacks allow an attacker to silently eavesdrop
or manipulate all your data that is sent over the network. This include
documents, emails and VoiceIP conversations. ARP spoofing attacks are
undetected by firewalls and operating system security features: firewalls
don't protect you against ARP based attack! XArp has been developed to
target this problem: it uses advanced techniques to detect ARP attacks
and thus helps you to keep your data private.

About 80% of network attacks originate from
inside the network.
