okay, well then just be extra clear what you're talking about..

that looks like unrelated errors...

okay, and since your other box is 192.168.1.101, i think it's safe to
assume that your dhcp server is giving out addresses on the 192.168.1.0
network. how about trying to manually configure your device then, with:
# /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.111
and then see if you can ping some ip addresses, like:
$ ping 216.239.57.100
(that's www.google.com). if that works, you just need to copy the dns
information over too.
