If you consistently see the "Searching
for IP" message and Windows is taking too long to resolve the
IP Address, set your Network Card IP Address to Static. Note: This could disable the connection to your

Access Network Connections. How
you access Network Connections is dependant on your Windows configuration.
Possible options include but are not limited to:
Click Start > Settings > Network Connections.
Click Start > Control Panel. Click on
Network Connections in the Control
Panel.
Right-click on the Network card
your DATAQ Instruments devices are connected to and select Properties.
In the Local
Area Connection Properties window select Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on the Properties
button.
In the Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window select Use
the following IP address. Windows default is shown below. Note
the settings for future reference.
Enter an IP address in the space
provided. Warning: Before connecting to your network through
this network card you MUST revert to the old settings noted in Step 4
above.
A Subnet
mask should be entered automatically - if not, enter a subnet mask.
Click OK
to set your Network Card IP Address.
When the TCP/IP Manager is run, IP addresses should be resolved.
If they are not, and you still see the "Determining
IP" message, you have probably changed the IP address of the
wrong Network Card.
