<p>Hi, Bob,<br>
</p>
<p>The computer doesn't have a dhcp server running. I'm unsure how
to set a static IP with a subnet of 255.0.0.0. It doesn't seem to
let me set an ip address of anything with 255 as the first octet.
I tried to set the ip to something it liked with a netmask of
255.255.255.255 and the ping said the network was unrechable.</p>

<pre wrap="">Jim,
I have recently been working on issues like this as well.
If you would like to determine the IP address currently programed in your Hermes you can program your computer with a static IP with a subnet of 255.0.0.0. Then connect the computer and the Hermes to your switch and ping 255.255.255.255 and the Hermes should respond with its IP address.
Both the computer and the Hermes should have a static IP for this to work because there will be no DHCP server available on your switch and I would assume your computer is not acting like a DHCP server.
