Hi, Dave,

So I put an address of 10.0.0.8 on eth0, Ran HPSDRProgrammer and found 
the board, more or less.  I did a discover from the boot loader tab and 
found the IP address was 255.255.255.255.  I changed it to 10.0.0.2 and 
wrote it.  I powered the Hermes off/on and ran HPSDRProgrammer again and 
read the ip address and sure enough, it set the IP address apparently.

After a few frustrating hours, I finally realized I had to take the 
jumper off of J12.  Then ping worked and eventually 2 of 3 programs worked.


Next I brought up QtHPSDRServer.  It also found the eth0 card.  And when 
I set it to auto and restarted it,  it and QtSDRServer came up running.  
But when I started QtRadio it got a connection refused on localhost port 
10801, which makes sense since nothing is listening to that port.  The 
server is listening on 10800.

Ghpsdr and cuSDR64 both work!!!!


Thanks,
Jim.
