A Special Note for Network Interface Connections

Due to any USB connection to your PC being made through a Network Interface Connection (NIC),
Windows will automatically make any new NIC connection the Primary connection. If this happens, the
USB address of 12.0.0.x will show up across the PC's network switches as the PC's source address. In
some cases, network administrators will notice the NIC connection and reconfigure any PC that has
connected to the MVP-5100. Business, college, and government installations are the type of installations
that would be most affected, and most home installations would not be affected.
To prevent the NIC connection from becoming the primary connection:
1. From the Windows Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel to open the Control Panel window.
2. In the Control Panel window, click on the Network Connections icon to open the Network
Connections window (FIG. 70)
