I think the first address of the last flash sector is only a signature, the MAC address is found where mac_addr_ptr is pointing.

The IP address is defined in simple_socket_server.h 


/* 
 * The IP, gateway, and subnet mask address below are used as a last resort
 * if no network settings can be found, and DHCP (if enabled) fails. You can
 * edit these as a quick-and-dirty way of changing network settings if desired.
 * 
 * Default IP addresses are set to all zeros so that DHCP server packets will
 * penetrate secure routers.  If DHCP will not be used, select valid static
 * IP addresses here, for example:
 *           IP: 192.168.1.234
 *      Gateway: 192.168.1.1
 *  Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
