<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Giovanni,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have a dedicated network card in my PC for my
Metis board. I've set both this board and my Metis to fix IP addresses in
the 10.x.x.x range rather than the 192.168.x.x. range of my main network.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>PowerSDR etc finds the card almost immediately but
there is some form of handshaking between the PC and Metis when both are first
powered on which initially does take a few seconds.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My metis is connected directly to the only one
ethernet port on my PC.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Bored to wait every time for metis to obtain an
APIPA IP address, I would like to set a static IP address using the BootLoader
function but I am intimidated by the warning of appendix A about this function
being provided for advanced users that understand the implications of setting
a fixed IP address. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I guess that setting the IP address to metis is
like to give her a name so that, as soon activity is started on the
connection, the PC will acknowledge the name and start communicating and no
time wasted. I'm guessing correctly ?</FONT></DIV>

guy that started vith vacuum tubes .</FONT></DIV>
