Really???? That 254 makes no sense at all to me at the end of a broadcast address. As I understand it all broadcast addresses must be the last address in their group (as determined by the mask) and with that mask the broadcast address should end in 255 (192.168.1.255). In fact, 192.168.1.254 should be just as valid of a normal IP address as 192.168.1 253.

Now that things are working for you you might want to get ethereal working again and watch the incoming ARP messages and see just what broadcast address the traffic is being sent to.
