Now, I'm not an expert, but that looks wrong to me - and certainly 
different to what I've got on my boxes.

Both bcast and mask appear to be set wrongly - bcast is effectively 
disabled (if I understand it right) and mask is bad too.

Here's one of mine on the same range

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:15:58:11:09:73
           inet addr:10.0.0.30  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
           inet6 addr: fe80::215:58ff:fe11:973/64 Scope:Link
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:202002308 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:82838714 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
           RX bytes:500953681 (477.7 MiB)  TX bytes:1436898995 (1.3 GiB)
           Interrupt:209 Base address:0x6000

Somebody please correct me if I'm talking crap btw. :)
