[hpsdr] Metis - what am I doing wrong?!

Hi Chris,

I did have the exactly the same symptoms when I connected Metis directly to 
a second ethernet port of my PC. HPSDRProgrammer would discover Metis 
correctly but neither PowerSDR or KISS would. When I switched the connection 
to my Linksys router everything worked as it should.

Doesn't help I know, but thought I would post it up for information.

Hi Berndt

OK - I think that is simply a different branch but it doesn't cure my 
problem as V1.19.3 displays exactly the same symptoms.

Back to the drawing board!

Cheers

Chris
