The mask: 255.255.255.0 above looks right, but down below:

And on the above, the mask is: 255.255.255.255 I don't run dhclient or 
anything so I'm not sure where the config file is, but I'd suggest that 
in addition to what's already been suggested you probably want to change 
the above to have a subnet mask matching what comes up under the ifup, 
namely: 255.255.255.0

HTH.
