I would raise a few questions about that inferface:
1. You have an none routable ip.
2. That broadcast looks odd, I may be wrong on that but a "normal" single
subnet broadcast would be: 192.168.2.255 which is what you mask would
indicate.

How are you connected to this neighbour? (I assume that you are connected
to the same hub as the uplink to the outside world and the alias is on the
same interface. have you checked the routing on the other machine and made
sure that packets aliased inferface are sent back ov er the aliased
interface? I also note that the mask is different on the 2 different
machines. I also see that the same broadcast is on the neighbour is there
a reason for this I am missing?
