The broadcast address is wrong

You need to think binary as in base 2
It should be  10.0.1.255 as your prefix is 24.
So viewing your ip address octets (base 8) left most bit of your ip is 
the "network address/lan address"  ( 10.0.1 )
The broadcast address is "all ones" or 255. So that makes the broadcast 
address network address plus all ones or
10.0.1.255

This is incorrect your resolv.conf
should have only the domain line or search line but not both.

The domain line is your domain name in this case hsd1.nh.comcast.net

The nameserver should be the address for the DNS server that provides 
name resolving for your lan, which in this case is your router 10.0.1.1.

/etc/host file

127.0.0.1    localhost
127.0.0.2    localhost.localdomain
10.0.1.31    <your computers name>.hsd1.nh.comcast.net

change <your computers name> to the name you gave your computer.
