This says the IP broadcast address for this net/subnet is
128.122.255.255 (the "N2" means "two bytes of ones"). If this is right
the address given might need to be "128.122.136.0" as well.

This says the IP broadcast address is 128.122.0.0.

They must both be the same, and more importantly, must match what your
CAP host itself believes to be the correct broadcast address. Is your
broadcast address all-ones or all-zeroes? Is your Class B network
subnetted or not? If it is a Sun, "ifconfig" is the command to find out.
