Yes, sorry.. I accidentally deleted that part of the message.

Here's the broken box:

pn0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 209.54.21.233 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 209.54.21.255
        ether 00:a0:cc:3b:66:51 
        media: 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>
        supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>

And here's a working one:

ep0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 209.54.21.199 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 209.54.21.255
        ether 00:60:97:a3:63:e6

The 255.255.255.0 netmask is correct here, despite the router being at
.129.
