Discrepancy noted- HWaddr is populated (probably no problem there) however
inet addr: 192.168.0.101 Bcast 192.168.0.255 - each has zero instead
of one in third group of digits
Mask is 255.255.255.0 as expected

Inet addr 192.168.0.100 Bcast 192.168.0.255
Same discrepancy as noted on Mepisbox- third group of digits is zero
instead of one for both IP and Bcast addresses. Subnet mask is as expected.
