You appear to have 2 NICs active.  I would use the Adapters and 
Protocols to get rid of one and don't forget to run the TCP/IP 
configurator to disable the lan1 interface.  The Westell appears to be a 
DHCP server and should supply unique IP addresses to your machines. 
Note that eCS only support one interface via DHCP.
