text: <s>[INST] BootP Failure. I have a brand new 1756-L82E. I am using BootP Ver. 2.3.2.0. I am direct connected to the processor. I am unable to get the processor to take the IPAddress that I assign to it, and cannot disable the DHCP. The only message I get is Unable to Service DHCP Request from 'Mac address' Can someone help me figure out how to set the IPAddress please? [/INST] I really wish I could say I had a surefire method to consistently get this to work, but alas, every time I commission a machine I also will have to struggle with one device or another to get it to take an IP address and/or disable BootP/DHCP. Could try a newer version of the BootP utility I suppose. Looks like v3.06 is the latest. Could also try the Ethernet IP Address Commissioning Tool. Different look and feel. Basically works the same way. This is what I have been using of late and I feel like I have the issue of devices not accepting the Disable BootP command less often than I used to. Reboot PC? Reboot PLC? Is your PC IP Address in the range that you are trying to set the L82E to? (Both 192.168.1.xxx, for example) Try disabling other ethernet adapters on your PC? Including WiFi and any virtual ethernet adapters. Do you have a printer cable you could use RSLinx and  USB driver instead?\n </s>
