So, then, how exactly did that information show up on this new system?

Something is causing this to happen.  There's no way that a system
that's turned off could be affecting this new one, so there's clearly
more to the story.

Have you tried to snoop or use wireshark at all?  I'm pretty sure
those have been mentioned as useful debugging tools, and figuring out
what on earth you've got on your network seems to be key to solving
these problems.

The symptoms so far sort of match up with a rogue DHCP server, except
that your ifconfig output seems to suggest that you're not running
DHCP at all ... or that you've perhaps configured some third-party
DHCP client software.

Probably not.  Google "esr smart questions" and click on the first hit.
