By using
ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255
This is normally performed in your init scripts. The exact details
depend upon which distribution you are using.
However, I'm not sure that this is the reason for your problem. Using
telnet shouldn't involve any broadcast traffic.
