<div class="ecxyiv1155949636gmail_extra">Yes there are places in the documentation that encourage
the use of fixed IP addresses, but I no longer recommend doing that since the
disadvantages far outweigh the advantages in my opinion.</div>

<div class="ecxyiv1155949636gmail_extra">But you <i>do</i> have to set the broadcast address to
the same value in the Win-Test Interfaces Configuration screen (SETUP [Enter])
on both computers. Check "Enable Ethernet network" and click the "By
Default" button next to broadcast address and it should set it to something like
192.168.0.255 automatically. Do not try to use arbitrary values here; just
click the "By Default" button.</div>

helpful! I assume that if for some reason the two computers have different
address values, then I should manually change the address on the 2nd computer to
that of the first computer, correct?</font></div>

10.0.0.1, and the "By Default" button doesn't assign a proper broadcast address
