Works for me:
# ifconfig eth0 203.14.18.1 netmask 255.255.255.128 broadcast 203.14.18.127
# dpkg -l netbase

Hmm, that's a pretty old version of netbase, right? Okay I'll copy
an ifconfig from my computer at works which is more recent (3.09-1):
# ifconfig eth0 203.14.18.1 netmask 255.255.255.128 broadcast 203.14.18.127

No errors ..
